Abstract
Children can be required to add please either to their request or to an affirmative response that they make to an offer. Sometimes children as young as 2 years spon- taneously add this term after the completion of their turn without being required to do so. In this article, I examine a small number of such instances and situate them within the child’s repertoire of skills that have a bearing on this phenomenon—the child’s capacity to add increments to a turn after turn ending, the interpretations that the child can place on pauses that occur after turn ending, and the child’s tech- niques for carrying out self-repair on something he or she has just said.
