The Effect of Ethnolinguistic Differences on Proximity between Cantonese and Mandarin Speaking Children.
Leung, Lanna Oi-Ling; Lewis, George F.
Early Child Development and Care, v159 p135-44 Dec 1999
Examined effects of ethnolinguistic differences on social proximity between Cantonese- and Mandarin-speaking Chinese children in a day care center. Found that each group of children was more likely to be in closer proximity to children speaking their own language than to children speaking the other language during free choice floor- and group-time activity.
