Negotiations of Meaning in Child Interactions.

Oliver, Rhonda

Modern Language Journal, v82 n3 p372-86 Aut 1998

Examines controversial interactions between children, a group generally overlooked in second-language acquisition research. Specifically, the research focuses on (1) whether children can negotiate for meaning, (2) what strategies they use, and (3) whether there are differences between the ways adults and primary school children negotiate for meaning.
