Investigating the linguistic challenges of the transition from primary to secondary school

This talk offers a comparison of the language that students typically encounter at primary and secondary school, based on rigorous corpus analysis. How does this contribute to the challenge of the school transition? This project is led by the University of Leeds, in collaboration with colleagues at Lancaster, Aston and Dundee.
