paper 3 section B
Reina and her mother are in the countryside having a conversation side by side. Reina is in the 3- 5 stage of developing post telegraphic. This stage is more in depth with the complex of conjunctions such as because or although which develop with age.
Reinas mother tends to add a suffix to the words she would speak to her daughter with such as ´ies´ and she would use in an instance of ¨birdies¨ to make it more childish for her daughter to understand. According to the LASS these words become easier to understand for Reina as the words become easier to reference with other things or objects.
Raina's mother constantly utilizes positive intonation. She closes her inquiries, "see the butterfly" and "see it in the long grass," with a higher pitch as it draws and coordinates Raina's consideration. Although this is regularly alluded to as child talk, she involves it as a method for keeping Raina intrigued.

Turn-taking is critical with regards to discussions as it pushes them. This keeps them from being uneven or discourse-like. Likewise, this connects to the contagiousness pair arrangement of an inquiry followed by a reaction. After one subject talks, the other answers and this cycle proceeds.

This might have been that she simply expected to slowly inhale and breathe before she could say the remainder of what she was talking about. She might've not had sufficient air in that frame of mind to continue to talk.
All through the record, the intonation of both Raina and her mother is marked by bolts facing up or down. Raina utilizes down intonation on various occasions to represent that Raina is asking an inquiry. This shows Raina's social and mental improvement through the way that she knows the manner by which an inquiry ought to be posed. This is clear when she expresses out loud 'whatever' 'where' and 'could we at any point go in this field'. The mother's intonation was additionally indicated all through the record, which likewise shows that Raina is taking after her mother, representing LASS as previously mentioned.
