Situational Variation in Language Patterns of Mexican American Boys and Girls
Patella, Victoria; Kuvlesky, William P.
Social Science Quarterly, 53, 4, 855-864, Mar 73
This study found that Spanish was used in almost all cases with parents and that the use of both languages was the predominant pattern for other cases, with Spanish decreasing as the situation moves into the social stratum. Girls more than boys used English and students more often than dropouts. (JB)
