Abstract
A summons is a social action that speakers use when trying to secure the recipient’sattention. The next expected turn to a summons is a response, and the lack of onefrom the addressee can be seen as socially problematic. Drawing on the principlesof conversation analysis and video-recorded Finnish family interactions, this paperexamines moments when children (three- to eight-year-olds) summon adults multi-ple times with address terms. This paper shows that when adults fail to respond tochildren’s initial summonses, children often repeat the summonses and upgrade/downgrade them with prosodic and embodied practices. Additionally, children mayutilise embodied actions to change the interactional space and establish favourableconditions to advance their interactional project.
