Peer reviewedKillen, Melanie; Naigles, Letitia R. – Discourse Processes, 1995
Examines whether preschool children take the gender of the addressee into account when disputing during peer exchanges. Finds that both boys and girls modified their language use in mixed-sex groups, with boys using fewer commands when more girls were present, and girls using more contradictions in mixed-sex than same-sex groups.
