Conversation Analysis and Child Language Acquisition
There is now an emerging body of work that can be best described as child‐focused conversation analysis (child‐CA).
Framing participant and analyst roles in research
This brief comment or observation turns on questions and issues surrounding the production of research material, the data derived from that material and the subsequent interpretation of the data – particularly in the social sciences. Here, I want to lay out a framework for considering some of the interdependencies involved which have arisen from certain puzzles I’ve encountered when analysing data from a longitudinal case-study I carried out with…
The development of other-related conversational skills
The analysis of conversational repair provides one route into understanding how young children learn the skills required for participating in talk. One key aspect of repair is the ability to respond appropriately to other participants. Employing a longitudinal case study approach, this article examines in detail the conversational repair skills of one child during the period where she is acquiring core conversational abilities and competencies (f…
The Emergence of Self-Repair
Learning how to talk during the early preschool years involves the appropriation of cultural norms, conventions, and sense-making social practices. In this article, I document the emergence of self-repair practices of a preschool child between the ages of 1 and 3;6 years. Employing a longitudinal single-case approach extract, examples provide insights into the resources that a child employs when acquiring the ability to self-repair. The findings …
Projective Identification and Intersubjectivity
The issue of what might constitute intersubjective relations during infancy and early childhood remains something of a puzzle within and beyond psychology. This paper considers whether the psychoanalytic concept of projective identification might supplement or enrich theoretical efforts in this domain. Following introductory comments on distinctive characteristics of Merleau-Ponty’s commentary on intersubjectivity, attention turns to psychoanalyt…
Competency and Participation in Acquiring a Mastery of Language
For ethnomethodology and conversation analysis the concept of 'member' or 'participant' remains central. The aim of this paper is to consider a number of ideas originally outlined by Garfinkel and Sacks (1970) , and by way of extension and clarification, discuss transcript extracts from recorded everyday interactions between two parents and their pre-school child. We note that membership, or what might constitute being a member, involves possessi…
Appropriating Cultural Conceptions of Childhood
Participating in conversation involves the co-construction of ideas, folk-beliefs and narratives concerning childhood, where young children learn to display versions of themselves in context. Using conversation analysis, this study looks in detail at several samples of talk of two British children, at ages ranging between 2 and 10 years, as they interact with other children, and their parents and grandparents. The article considers representation…
Psychology of the Image
Reflections and Projections of the Developing Self
In response to calls for a constructively critical developmental psychology, this paper considers contemporary ideas of the developing self. After touching on theoretical assumptions within cognitive and psychoanalytic approaches, consideration turns to the potential value of narrative. A conception of the developing self embedded within the subject positionings of discourse is then formulated. This approach, defined as discursive ethnomethodolog…

Children's comprehension of polysemous estimation words and phrases
Linguistic aspects of mathematics education are often cited as problematic for young children acquiring mathematical skills. This study examined the relationship between the comprehension of words and phrases used when estimating (e.g., roughly, between, guess) and children's estimation abilities. Sixty-four children between six and eleven years (6-7, 8-9, 10-11) completed an estimation word comprehension test before undertaking a range of estima…
