One of the few communities to emerge from apartheid�s ruins, Beacon Valley, as a community, has given shape to bilingual children�s identities, i.e the way they talk and play as a result of bilingual (English, Afrikaans) contact through individual interactions.This study builds on the pioneering interactional study of Marjorie Goodwin�s �He-Said-She- Said: Talk as Social Organization Among Black Children �(1990), which focussed on a selected group of bilingual children and particularly on peer-to-peer interaction.enBilingualismIdentityRaceMitchell�s PlainChildrenUniversity of the Western Cape
