Journal Article
Finding out about children’s language
2024
Overview
LVC is publishing this long inaccessible paper, a forceful instance of Labov’s ever-innovative approach to field work, commitment to social justice, and consistent efforts to defend the speakers of speech varieties that have been labeled as inadequate and even nonexistent. The largest group is concerned with the current Hawaiian pidgin spoken by young people of school age, and the transition between this Hawaiian pidgin and standard English. When you first approach the teaching of reading, you have to decide whether you know enough about the child’s language resources to use what is known as the “language experience” approach. The child is typically confronted with a picture or an object and told, “Tell me everything you can about this!” This method is one of the natural products of educational psychology, which is concerned more with discriminating among children than finding out what a given child’s capacity actually is.
