Cooper, Labov, Larry and Charles.

Oxford Review of Education, v11 n2 p193-200 1985
Research by Labov dealing with everyday speech and its relation to thinking and reasoning is critiqued, and Cooper's detailed criticism of Labov's research is discussed. Researchers should pay attention to actual speech in settings that are natural, rather than using only quantitative abstractions from artificial and restricted verbal encounters. (RM)
