Summary/Abstract: The role of baby talk is shown as a specific linguistic register and communicative strategy not restricted to the adult’s adaptation to the specifics of the communication with the child, but also has teaching, socializing and creative functions as far as it reflects the reverse influence of the child on the adults, revealing the creative potential of both sides. The methodology of Conversation Analysis (Garfinkel, Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson) is applied to the study of conversations/dialogues between adults and children, which does not presume or set up beforehand any theoretical models or schemes of interpretation, but studies conversations in their spontaneous flow, as a specific ‘local management’ mechanism (‘network of procedures’) for the ordering of turn-taking as well as of the positions and roles in a given conversation.
