First published in 1983, this book represents a substantial body of
detailed research on children's language and communication, and
more generally on the nature of interactive spoken discourse. It
looks at areas of competence often examined in young children's
speech have that have not been described for adults - leading to
insights not only in the character of adult conversation but also
the process of acquiring this competence. The authors set forward
strategies for conversing at different stage of life, while also
relating these strategies to, and formulating hypotheses
concerning, the dynamics of language variation and change.
