Co-construction in Girls' Hopscotch.

Goodwin, Marjorie Harness

Research on Language and Social Interaction, v28 n3 p261-81 1995

Focuses on the work of girls who take on the role of refereeing the course of action within the game of hopscotch. The fieldwork for this article is based on a study of the interaction of bilingual Spanish- and English-speaking girls. The range of experiences within this game challenges characterizations of girls' play as limiting the development of social skills. (31 references) (CK)
