Abstract

It was the -purpose of this study to investigate oral language patterns of working class children and to analyze their responses to unfinished stories to determine authoritarian tendencies in adult-child relationships. Findings from this study might be used to improve many facets of the language arts curriculum. Such investigations also could help teachers understand the reactions of working class children to school.
