The use of Directives in Verbal Interactions between Blind Children and their Mothers

Abstract

Verbal interactions between three mothers and their young blind children, with special attention to the use of maternal directives, were examined. It was found that a simple analysis of maternal directives can be misleading. Thus, counting single occurrences of directives ignores the possible adaptive role that directive sequences may have in conversational interactions with blind children.
