Annotation

Based on Israeli child talk in daily, natural environs, recorded in two separate studies (1999–2002 and 2012–2013), ample discourse analysis of television-based interactions from an ethnographic, child-centered viewpoint discloses television's lenghty centrality as nice, disposable, and shared cultural asset with precious social, cognitive, and discursive affordances.
