Introduction 2. Literature Review 3. Research Design: Methodology and Basic Concepts 4. Monologic Narrative: Narrative Development 5. Monologic Narrative Structure in Japanese 6. Parental Narrative Elicitation Styles 7. Cross-Cultural Comparison of Parental Narrative Elicitation 8. Styles of Parent-Child Book Reading in Japanese Families 9. Conclusion and Implications References/ Index

    Dr. Masahiko Minami has written extensively on psycho/sociolinguistics with a particular emphasis on cross-cultural comparisons of language development and narrative/discourse structure. He has published significant contributions to works covering cultural constructions of meaning, childcare quality in Japan, and East Asian students' experiences in U.S. classrooms.
