I've got two questions! =]
One: Do those of you doing semantics have a lot of utterances that are going under action? I know that everyone is doing a different sample, but I have a lot that are action and I didn't know if that was normal.
Two: This one is for Mrs. White. How do you know that where I put the utterance is right or wrong without seeing the tape. I mean depending on the tape, certain utterances could go in a lot of categories. For example,
Grandma: It's slippers to go with your jammies.
Tyler: Yea Right!
I put this as denial because he uses it like "Yea right, that's not what those are for," but without the video, someone else might think he is agreeing with her. I was just curious as to how that works.

Several factors will determine where the majority of utterances would fall within the semantic phases.
ReplyDeleteOne would be the ACTIVITY that is occuring.
Secondly would the topic of conversation. Another is the developmental stage of the child's language.
I know because I am BRILLIANT! NO, actually, I use my best judgement. In those cases you might add a parenthetical comment to clue me in to the context if it isn't evident by the conversation.
