School ties: A social network analysis of friendships in a multilingual kindergarten

Abstract

SUMMARY This paper presents a micro level analysis of data from the Box Hill Nursery Project, an ethnolinguistic study carried out in the north-east of England (Thompson, 1994 & 1995), into the language and social behaviour of a group of eight children, four girls and four boys, during their first term in a nursery school, during the period of their enculturation into formal education. The informants, aged between three years and four months (3.4) and three years and seven months (3.7), are third generation British born to families of Pakistani origin. They are Moslems from the Mirpur region. They speak Mirpuri, vernacular Urdu-Panjabi, and English.
