| Summary |
Multimodal analysis is a fast-growing field that goes beyond the largely linguistic accounts provided by conventional transcription techniques, and concerns itself with the full range of communicative practices and strategies with which human society engages. This has been very useful for researchers examining the communicative and semiotic activities of children under the age of three who are still developing as language users. The data presented here are provided by Dr Lesley Lancaster from Manchester Metropolitan University and are drawn from a project that examines the production of meaningful and intentional graphic signs by a group of children between 18 and 36 months. The multimodal transcript and analysis presented shows Jamie aged 30 months, in discussion with his father, making marks that record the attendees at a Halloween party to which they had recently been. The transcripts use a second-by-second time frame, and columns that record the different bodily and textual modes involved. An analysis of the process derived from the transcript is also presented, and some background to the issues faced by the researchers in devising it. The dataset will be of most use to researchers investigating human interaction using a multimodal framework, and will be of particular interest to those conducting research into the communicative and sign-making capacities of very young children |
