Conversational repair sequences are an important aspect of communicative interaction. These sequences may occur in the event of communication failure if a listener requests clarification of a previous aspect of the speaker's message. The purpose of this study was to investigate the repair strategies employed in conversation by children at four age levels. Ten linguistically normal children were sampled from each of the following age levels: 2:7 to 3:10, 4:10 to 5:10, 6:10 to 7:10, and 8:10 to 9:10 (years:months), resulting in a total of 40 subjects. Each subject was asked to describe a series of action pictures for an examiner who was seated behind a screen. At regular intervals, the examiner responded to the child's description by initiating a stacked repair sequence. Results indicated that subjects at all age levels complied with the initial request for clarification the majority of the time. However, with increasing age, subjects became more adept at handling the stacked sequence of requests for clarification. Older children were more responsive to the requests, and 9-year-old subjects demonstrated a wider range of strategies in providing repairs.
对话修复序列是交际互动的一个重要方面。如果听众要求澄清说话者信息的先前内容,这些序列可能会在沟通失败的情况下出现。本研究的目的是调查四个年龄组儿童在对话中采用的修复策略。从以下每个年龄组中抽取了10名语言正常的儿童:2岁7个月至3岁10个月、4岁10个月至5岁10个月、6岁10个月至7岁10个月、8岁10个月至9岁10个月(岁:月),共计40名受试者。要求每个受试者为坐在屏幕后面的考官描述一系列动作图片。考官会定期通过启动一个堆叠式修复序列来回应孩子的描述。结果表明,所有年龄组的受试者在大多数情况下都遵守了最初的澄清请求。然而,随着年龄的增长,受试者在处理堆叠式澄清请求序列方面变得更加熟练。年龄较大的儿童对请求的反应更积极,9岁的受试者在提供修复时表现出更广泛的策略。
