Alright, so I'm STILL not so sure what we should be counting for an analysis of pragmatics. The worksheet says to section off all turns, so does that mean we should have 100 turns of the child talking. So, for example the child says:
Play... and all kinds of things. Hey Daddy! That's where my dog's gonna sleep. Right by me. Hey! you can sleep by my dog. Right here.
Alright, so if I count utterances, it was 8 total utterances. But, if we're counting 'turns' like I think she means, than it's 1, and I don't think I have 100 turns in my sample.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Because I've already counted all the utterances and coordinated them with the conversation skills and I think I'm going to have to start all overrrr! :(

I thought it was 100 utterances. If it is 100 turns in the child's coversation, then I might go crazy!!!! Not only will I have to start counting over again, but I might have to go back and transcribe more of my sample!!! Ahhhh!!! I really hope it is just utterances!!!
ReplyDeleteYou were right the first time. It is 100 utterances and you counted it correctly the first time. A child could have 8 utterances in ONE turn!!
