We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear linguists:

A student of mine is working on classroom interactions from a Critical
Discourse Analysis perspective. We are looking for recordings or
transcriptions of Spanish data. Any other useful information on classroom
discourse would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I'm working with some colleagues on a project which elicits (as a
by-product) keyboard text from children (aged 14/16) interacting both with
other children and with adults (groups, not one-to-one).

We are keen to explore comparisons with more conventional linguistic
interactions (speech/sign). In particular we want to know more about the
use of imperative forms in such conventional interactions.  The linguistic
background of the children is not uniformly unilingual English.

If you know of some studies on child language which cover imperative forms
please could you supply me with details.

Thanks
