Summary:
references on the topic: register and/or genre in the pre-school age

A week before Christmas I sent out a query about references on the topic:
register and/or genre in the pre-school age. This is a summary of the
replies I got from netters on the Linguist list and Info-childes. I wish to
express my thanks to all of you who responded. I'll do this collectively
now, since I will not be referring to single respondents in the following
list of references.
