Ruth Swanwick and Alena Ryazanova will present and discuss video data of a young child interacting with her hearing mother and a deaf class-mate.This session focuses on family and the social milieu. During the session they will also explore ways of annotating and analysing data. During the first hour the speakers will present the data followed by a group discussion. The focus for the second hour will be on the data itself and on exploring the modal complexity of the scenarios and the modal intensity of individual contributions.All are warmly welcome to attend the first half of the seminar or the full seminar.
