Abstract

This article focuses on two interactional episodes between two-year-old children and their caregivers in which the emergence of some trouble with understanding each other is publicly recognized and dealt with. More specifically, I analyze in detail how the children organize the action of repairing their own utterances when the co-participant's response to their utterance shows inappropriate understanding. The analysis shows that young children, who are at an early stage of language development, are capable of organizing their actions in multi-modal ways to deal with trouble in understanding which potentially endangers the participants' intersubjectivity. I conclude with a brief discussion of the implications that empirical studies of young children's actions operating on intersubjectivity, such as this study, can have for studies of the development of understanding others, and, in particular, 'theory of mind.'
