Abstract

The current paper deals with communication in early ontogenesis from the reference perspective. The material consists of recordings of German speaking adults and children, aged 2.0-2.5. After studying the transcripts, quasi-discourse is elicited. The dialogue units of quasi-discourse in child speech present quasi-responses. Since quasi-responses acquire some pragmatic meaning, it brings pseudo-communication. The authors claim that quasi-responses are manifested in intonation by the combination of the duration, intensity and the pitch of tone. Quasi-responses are initiated by children as a way to encourage a contact. The dialogue stagnation is repaired by cross-reference.
