Description: Sociolinguistic Variation in Children's Language by Jennifer Smith, Mercedes Durham Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Aimed at sociolinguists and researchers of child language acquisition, as well as psychologists and educationalists, this book analyses the development of dialect in preschool children, in interaction with their primary caregivers. Publisher Description How we vary our speech is fundamental in signalling who we are, where were from and where were going. How and when does such variation arise? Here, leading experts Jennifer Smith and Mercedes Durham address this question through a sociolinguistic analysis of the speech of preschool children in interaction with their primary caregivers. Bringing together two fields of linguistic research - variationist sociolinguistics and first language acquisition - the study focusses both qualitative and quantitative analysis of a range of variables to show when and how variation is acquired by young children, and the effect the caregivers interaction has on this process. In doing so, they tackle a fundamental question in language research: when and how do children acquire the highly complex patterns of variation widely attested in adult speech? Author Biography Jennifer Smith is Professor of Sociolinguistics at the University of Glasgow. Her research is in language variation and change, concentrating on the origins and development of dialect from infancy onwards. Mercedes Durham is a Senior Lecturer in Sociolinguistics at Cardiff University. Her research looks at how linguistic variation and language change are acquired, transmitted and viewed by individual speakers and across successive generations.
