Abstract

This paper examines the intentionality of very young children’s communica- tive action by looking at interactional sequences that are touched off by a child’s point. Young children use points and vocalizations, including “proto words,” to orient to some feature of their situation in a manner that makes relevant a response by the caregiver. These gestures initiate interactional sequences through which the caregiver locates a candidate specification of the point’s target. The child’s point is oriented to by caregivers as a recognizable action directed to some end.We suggest that intentionality, is a feature of participants’ production and recognition of actions becomes visible in interac- tion between the child and the caregiver as it unfolds in a particular situation.
