the pattern of interaction is typical of tutorial events, Ilda does not
'violate* the norms of conversation by asking known information. As she
is aware that her grandmother has no experience of airliners, she uses
attention-getting devices and gives information and explanations. In some
conversations with younger siblings not included in the present study,
however, Target Children used Test Questions when 'playing school' or
doing homework.
