Abstract
Data are derived from videotapes made in the homes of six Down's syndrome children with developmental ages varying between 1;1 and 2;1. The analysis concerns those sequences in which parent and child look at a book together, and more specifically those exchanges where the child initiates communication on a new target on the page. The design of these initiations is examined with respect to their various verbal and non-verbal components. The analysis of pointing, and in particular of point duration, reveals a possible developmental progression from a stage at which point and exchange duration are linked together to one in which the organization of pointing becomes more detached from the exchange as a unit of interaction.
