A lively in-depth study of how three young children from an urban working-class community learned language under everyday conditions.

A monograph that investigates personal storytelling as a medium of socialization in two disparate cultural worlds. It combines ethnography, longitudinal home observations, and micro-level analysis of everyday talk to study this problem in Taiwanese families in Taipei and European-American families in Longwood, Chicago.

How can the concepts of culture and context be incorporated into accounts of development and research on development? This book introduces approaches based on the notion of cultural practices; these are viewed as meaningful actions that occur routinely in everyday life.
