Example text
First, greater attention is paid to conceptual issues in the analysis of indirection. In particular, an attempt is made to distinguish various forms of indirect speech and the particular requirements associated with the understanding of each of them. Second, and following on the first, a detailed analysis is offered of the naturally occurring conversations of a large number of children from ages 3^ to 7. As this brief review suggests, the little research that has been done on the development of the child's understanding of conversational meaning has focused on indirection.
At the same time, by age 3, the children investigated by Keenan also started using anaphoric pronouns instead of repeating preceding utterances. Ervin-Tripp (1978a) reports the following developments in children between the ages of 2;9 and 3;6: (1) the appearance of auxiliary ellipses in responses, for example "Mary was," "I did it"; (2) the use of pronouns in replies to refer back to previously mentioned nouns; and (3) the use of conjunctions to connect sentences across turns. In the last case development reflects the cognitive difficulty of the relationships indicated.
This social and interactive quality of conversation is understood in its own terms, that is without reference to any general or inherent qualities of individuals. To the degree to which individuals are considered, they are viewed as the subjects of regulation and hence shaped by the conditions of their interaction. In this context, the analysis of conversations is not framed in light of the reciprocal determination of conversational structures and the cognitive capacities of the individuals involved.
