These references inform my dissertation research on adaptations in
caregiver speech that nurture the acquisition of pragmatic competence. My
focus is on the eighteen-month-old toddler, and the primary caregiver is
the parent, but many of these references address schooling. The Linda
Thompson (1996) article is especially insightful. It is published by
Multilingual Matters.
