The link above leads to a website giving tips on how adults should behave around their children and what not to do around them. This is important in my investigation because these notes will be used as a template on how well the adults follow these tips without even knowing them. This will be a test on their common sense, and my data will also reflect how the children react to the adults behaviour through their language. My hypothesis is that if the adults generally follow these tips, the child language will be a lot friendlier and the children will appear happier in conversation with lots more to say. If my adults use taboo language or have arguments (for example) the children will be a lot less open in conversation and will appear even more timid than usual, and this will also emphasise the adults power.
