How we vary our speech is fundamental in signalling who we are, where we're from and
where we're going. How and when does such variation arise ? Here, leading experts
Jennifer Smith and Mercedes Durham address this question through a sociolinguistic
analysis of the speech of preschool children in interaction with their primary caregivers.
Bringing together two fields of linguistic research - variationist sociolinguistics
and first language acquisition - the study focusses both qualitative and quantitative
analysis of a range of variables to show when and how variation is acquired by young
children, and the effect the caregiver's interaction has on this process. In doing
so, they tackle a fundamental question in language research : when and how do children
acquire the highly complex patterns of variation widely attested in adult speech ?
