Annotation

Children’s whining is discerned in extracts of video-recorded social interaction at home with siblings, parents, and other family. “Whining” can be recognized in terms of a set of phonetic attributes covering pitch movement, loudness and nasality, and contrasted with crying. This study centers on the practices and results of whining, in and for social interaction.
