Parental Speech to Middle- and Working-Class Children from Two Racial Groups in Three Settings.

Lawrence, Valerie W.; Shipley, Elizabeth

Applied Psycholinguistics, v17 n2 p233-55 Jun 1996

Examined the speech of middle- and working-class black and white parents to their preschool children during picture identification, free play, and a meal. The study found the groups similar in the level and form of parental labeling and different in the information supplied by parents, parental direction of child behavior, and parental sensitivity to the child's age.
