Primary Socialization, Language and Education : 7 Volumes

Omtale

This 7-volume set, first published between 1970 and 1977, forms part of the original 13-volume Primary Socialization, Language and Education series. The series consists of reports on research work carried out by the Sociological Research Unit of the University of London Institute of Education. The research was concerned with the inter-relationship between culture, social organization and orientations towards certain uses of language. It studied in particular social class differences in the way mothers prepared children for the experience of the infant school, maternal communication and control over young children, and the speech of children aged five to seven years. The research programme also included the development and evaluation of an exploratory language programme for working-class infant schoolchildren. The remaining 6 titles are available separately.
