Sledd, James – 1980
This paper makes three arguments reaffirming the overwhelming complexities inherent in any real history of the language of blacks in North America.

Clark, Francis E.; Angert, Jay F. – 1980
The relationship between communication theory and media research must be reciprocal.

In the past, educators have based their decisions on an assumption that schools would continue to grow in enrollment and resources.

Readiness research should attempt to find what and how a child is ready to learn rather than…
