Resumen:
The study is part of an investigation into the linguistic and cognitive development of children from marginalized urban neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The present study analyzes the interactional situations in which 4-year-old children spontaneously talk about future events with others. The data consists of 120 narratives of future events produced by 15 children (ages 4:2 to 4:11) in interactions with others in their families or from their communities. Each child was observed during 12 hours and their interactions were audio-recorded. The units of analysis are interactive episodes that include a child contribution of at least two temporally related utterances that refer to a future event. Results show differences in the ways in which childrens contributions fit functionally into the context of social interaction as well as differences in the strategies and in the linguistic resources that they use to plan the future event.
