| summary | Turn-taking in spoken languages involves different kinds of signals. There is
considerable variation between languages in the signals used, the amount of
overlapping speech and the patterns that emerge. Being able to see has an
influence on these patterns. For turn-taking in a sign language it is crucial
to be able to see. The conversation partner must pay visual attention to the
signer. Children at age two years have learned to give visual attention but
turn-taking needs to be managed as turns increase in length. Adult studies of
turn-taking in signed languages suggest that the pattern in informal
situations is of ‘shared floor’ involving many overlaps that are not
perceived as disruptive. In a study of one deaf child and one hearing child
(brothers) with their deaf mother between the ages of two and six years it
can be observed that the amount of visual attention from the child at the
beginning of the utterance increases, turn-taking with overlap increases and
the functions of the overlapping turns changes. There is an increasing
collaborative floor in both children moving towards the informal style of
adult-adult conversation. |
