Description

Explore the linguistic journey of Mexican migrant workers in this expanded edition of Illegal Alphabets and Adult Biliteracy. Published by Routledge, this book provides a direct look at how a group of fruit pickers in a rural Midwestern community navigate their first encounter with American speech. Readers gain insight into the intelligent ways these workers use the alphabetic principle to teach one another a language they do not yet speak. By observing how they apply existing knowledge of one letter to one sound, the text reveals the specific strategies used during their very first contact with English. This study offers a unique perspective on how people learn and communicate under new linguistic circumstances, making it a valuable resource for those interested in anthropology and sociology.
