The Clarification Request as a Feature of Adult Interactive Styles with Young Children

Corsaro, William A.

Language in Society, 6, 2, 183-207, Aug 77

The analysis of videotaped, naturally occurring, adult-child interaction led to the isolation of the clarification request as a consistent feature of adult interactive styles. The importance of these demands, their nature, how adults deal with them, and their effects on children's communicative development are discussed. (CHK)
