CDS Techniques-
Halla asks Zachy lots of open questions throughout the video, for example early on in the video Halla says "what Darling?" Halla does this to let Zachy talk and give him the power in the the conversation, the combination of interrogative and endearment helps to show that she is giving Zachy the power in the conversation. The use of tag questions comes up in the video too, for example Zachy says "(.) a banana (0.5) and 3 things in the banana (0.5)" Halla replies "a banana and what? (.) 3 things?". Another technique Halla uses is repetition, it seems that Halla often appears to repeat what Zachy says when he mispronounces a word like "frough" Halla will repeat the sentence using the correct pronunciation, this is seen when Zachy says "it doesn't go frough" Halla answers with "it doesn't go through? (.) why not" Halla does this to influence Zachy to copy her and attempt to pronounce the word correctly. Halla does this again with "bolognay" and "bolognaise". Halla makes sure to praise Zachy so he knows she is happy with him, this also influences Zachy to do it again and build up a routine. We see this when Halla says "you are a star (.) little man".
Good linking of points. Use as much terminology as possible e.g. start with the hypernym 'interrogatives' and then use the hyponyms 'tag questions', 'open/closed questions' etc. Check tag question as a term - the verb must be repeated in the tag part and the main clause must be a declarative e.g. 'It's a a hot day.' uses the verb 'to be', so the tag must too: 'It's a hot day, isn't it?' - the present tense form of the verb 'to be' is hiding in both parts: 'is' in 'it's' and 'is' in 'isn't'.
ReplyDeleteWhen you mention techniques in a quote, you must show that you can see how they work. When you make the point about me using child-led discourse by using the open question "What (.) Darling?", incorporating an endearment, you need to show how the endearment shows I value what he has to say by being loving and encouraging and the open question allows him to say whatever he chooses, allowing him to set the agenda, which does give him the power (qlthough it remains, ultimately with the cargiver as I can stop the conversation or interrupt him whenever I choose, as the parent carrying instrumental power).
Link the repair of the non-standard pronunciation to Skinner and to the Fis Phemonenon to get AO2 (theory/concept) marks.
