Abstract

This study documents one typically developing child’s experience of, and response to, neutral repair initiation by the mother (e.g., hm?) during playtime conversation over a 2-month period spanning MLU Stage I. Weekly video recordings were analysed using the method of conversation analysis to examine turns and turn sequences in detail. Distinct results separated Early from Late MLU Stage I data. Overall, the child’s trouble-source turns were sequence-initiating and linked to topic movement. Repair response turns were relevant for early grammatical development in ways governed by the local sequential context of conversation. The findings are compared to other types of maternal repair initiation in the same data corpus.
