PERSONAL: Pragmatics and Discourse of a Child-Parent Interaction

Umaimah Mohd Idris 's 6 year old Aerfan told his Kakak Mima that he has something to discuss with me.... Ayat yang digunakan : Aerfan nak naik atas sekejap... Ada benda nak bincang dengan Mama... sounds so important n official.... "Mama esok Aerfan kena pergi ke sekolah ke? (with a no nonsense look on his "innocent" face)

Objective: I wish I don't have to go to school and Mama agrees with me;)

Result: Odi will let the child skip school. Kidz need all the rest they can get before they enter the REAL world. One or two days cutting class is fine. Come to think of it... one or two weeks skipping class pun alrite gak.... The kid needs enough rest to make him grow - paraphrase from Glee 22 june 2010...

Future Plan: Odi will use this in her exam question or in her class. Real examples are difficult to find.
