Interpersonal distance, mouth sounds, and referentiality in child-dog play: A pluridisciplinary approach
The aim of this paper is to explore how interpersonal distance, mouth sounds, and human language are synchronized to construe meaning within interspecies play projects. The data consist of video recordings presenting 4 child-dog dyads in ecological French-speaking contexts. The study combines ethological methods, phonetic analysis, and cognitive-linguistic analysis. The paper shows that physical contact and proximity characterize child-dog play and affect children's vocal behaviour. Adjustments in interpersonal distance are conditioned by ongoing play projects. In plays including hidden or out-of-reach objects, proxemic adjustments, sounds, and language structures construe referentiality and perspective-taking.
期刊介绍:
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
