- focus more on speech acts as individual utterances rather then Halliday's broader approach.
- Labelling - naming a person, object or thing
- Repeating - repeating an adult word or utterance
- Answering - responding to another speaker
- Requesting action - asking for somthing to be done for them
- Calling - getting someone's attention by shouting
- Greeting - greeting a person or thing
- Protesting - objecting to someone else's requests
- Practising - using language when no adult is present.
(Piaget used the phrase 'egocentric speech' to describe children speaking when alone, and said it was their way of classifying their experiences and environment. This is the equivalent to Dore's 'practising' category.)
