Description

This foundational study, first published in 1983, presents extensive research on children's language development and the mechanics of interactive spoken discourse. The book examines competence areas in young children's speech that had previously gone undocumented in adult communication, offering fresh perspectives on how conversation works across different life stages. The authors identify and explain conversational strategies used at various developmental phases, connecting these patterns to the underlying dynamics of how people acquire and refine their communicative abilities. Combining detailed linguistic analysis with practical insights, this work remains essential for anyone studying language acquisition, discourse analysis, or the foundations of human communication.
