Abstract

HOUSTON, SUSAN H. A Reexamination of Some Assumptions about the Language of the Disadvantaged Child. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1970, 41, 947-963. Although research on the language of the disadvantaged child is now receiving much impetus, few extant studies have been helpful to the teacher. Linguistic science has only recently become concerned with this topic; thus, most studies have been pursued without the requisite linguistic and sociolinguistic base. As a result, the field has developed a body of misconception and mythology centering around the notion of linguistic deprivation, and from this incorrect concept no useful correction programs can stem. The purpose of this article is to reexamine widely held misconceptions about disadvantaged-child language in light of modern linguistic and psycholinguistic advances.
