Zusatztext "All those interested in children's early conversational abilities and competencies will immediately recognize the significance of this major contribution to the field. Not only does Sara Keel explicate the particularly subtle strategies children begin to display! she also sets her findings within a timely overview and analysis of the existent conversation analytic work on early socialisation."-Michael Forrester! University of Kent! UK"In this book! Sara Keel illuminates the interactional competencies of two-year-old children. The detailed analysis shows - in pursuing parent responses to their assessments - young children are attuned to the negotiation of roles! the indexicality of rights and responsibilities! and the contiguity of social practices. A terrific read! not only for scholars in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis! but for students! practitioners and researchers of early childhood seeking to understand how socialization is achieved in everyday interactions."- Amelia Church! University of Melbourne! Australia"For anyone interested in the detailed study of parent-child interaction! and how socialization might be approached using the unique tools of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis! this book has much to offer. It provides an enlightening overview of scholarly thinking on socialization! and grounds the concept in the concrete particulars of children's everyday interactions."- Mardi Kidwell! University of New Hampshire! USA"This book breaks new ground in the examination of young children's embodied interactive! cognitive! and linguistic competences. Its careful analysis demonstrates how children aged 2-3 years act as agents to orchestrate and negotiate co-operative engagement with parents during interaction within assessment activities."- Marjorie Harness Goodwin! University of California! Los Angeles! USA"This is the best book on child-parent interaction I have ever read. In a most succinct and insightful way! Sara Keel surveys the major social-scientific approaches to 'socialization'! and with consummate conceptual acuity shows how ethnomethodology and conversation analysis radically respecify those approaches-not least in recasting the analytic conception of the child. Using detailed empirical analyses of audiovisual recordings of child-parent interactions! she presents new findings concerning! for instance! the participants' methodical practices concerning preference organization in children's interactions with parents."- Rod Watson! Dept. Sciences Economiques et Sociales!Telecom ParisTech"Keel's book is living proof that there is work to be done in renewing and rethinking established concepts in social sciences! by taking both an interactional and a user's (in this case! a child's) perspective. The way in which Keel performs such work on the concept of socialization is impressively well done. By analysing collections! she was able to describe systematic! recurrent patterns of interactions in a meaningful way! mean-ingful to both the field of social interaction and the field of early childhood studies." - Martine Noordegraaf!
