Language Analysis Project
I am doing Pragmatics for my project. When it says section off all TURNS, does that mean clauses? Thanks.
No, ma'am. Sectioning off turns is when the child stops talking and lets the next person "take a turn" talking. The sample transcriptions we have gone over in class shows each person talking - those are TURNS. You might have several UTTERANCES however in one turn. You must have 100 utterances in your sample.
