Through an analysis of a single telephone conversation between an 8-year-old AS child and an adult and a peel; it shows the level oj interactional complexity required in managing talk. It argues that although the AS child is, on one level, successful in phoning her friend to ask a question, the success of the illteraction relies in part on the other interactants and their willingness to accommodate her different conversational norms. The study demonstrates how CA can be a useful tool for understanding some oj the interactional difficulties faced by AS children and adults alike.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Applied Linguistics"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/51v47051","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Johanna","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rendle-Short","name_suffix":"","institution":"Australian National University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-02-05T08:00:00Z","date_accepted":"2011-02-05T08:00:00Z","date_published":"2002-12-30T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ial/article/6882/galley/3981/download/"}]}
