Children in and Out of School

The chapters in this volume are divided into three sections. In the first section, the authors provide a framework for the reader by setting ethnography in context. Chapters cover definitions of ethnography, its basic underlying principles, and purpose ways in which it can be useful to education. The second section presents a range of ethnographic studies. The research presented defines by illustration some essential characteristics of ethnography. Chapters in the third section reflect on the different themes, issues, and concerns of the field of ethnography and education in general, and of the articls in the volume in particular. The central themes are continuity vs. discontinuity in children's lives; the role of folklore in education; researcher/educator collaboration and micro vs. macro levels of analysis.

Discourse Production and Comprehension (Advances in Discourse Processes, 1)

<p>Preface to volume 1: He full development and deeper understanding of the structure and function of discourse in social communication and its internal representation in the individual can only come about from a vigorous interaction of what are currently separate disciplines. The present edited collection of multidisciplinary papers is offered as a stimulus to this ultimate goal. Represented here are a wide variety of approaches to the study of discourse: sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, teacher-student interaction, conversational turn-taking, speech acts in developmental psycholinguistics, mathematical representations of discourse structure, the clinical interview, the interactionist approach to discourse, language production theories, Gricean constraints in discourse, and other related issues.</p>
