| Abstract: | Describes and empirically tests three assumptions, generally taken for granted, concerning the nature of communicative interaction between infants and adults: that interaction is instrumentally oriented, that meaning is obvious and unitary, and that change has an external source. An outline for an alternative account of communicative exchanges is proposed. (Author/RH) |
