Abstract
In this article, I investigate how 2 young Tzotzil Mayan siblings playfully manipu- late the sequential structure of adjacency pairs to align, to confront each other, and to challenge family roles and hierarchies. The young learners’ intentional disrup- tion reveals the early control of dialogic repetition typical of Mayan languages. More important, it illustrates the children’s development of communicative compe- tence as they reorganize greeting structures or reauthorize messages through frame shifts.
