| My research addresses
issues of how structural aspects of language reflect and create
social roles and identities. My current research examines the
language use of pre-teen children in bilingual classrooms, based
on two years of fieldwork in a Spanish-English bilingual program
in southern Illinois, and a year of fieldwork in German-English
bilingual programs in Berlin, Germany. This research examines
how the children use language to construct their own social identities,
as well as the social norms of their communities. |
