RESUMO

This research examines the casual conversation of children between the ages of five and six within social interactions in pretend plays. Herein, I show how a number of researchers face pretend play, its relevance to the childs development and the importance of this experience to the nuclear self I attempt, at first, to point out the importance of social interaction, in this context, to the improvement of the childs linguistic skills; secondly, I try to highlight the lexicogrammatical choices made by these children when setting the limits between reality and fantasy, those that reveal their pragmatic competence. For this reason, I fall back upon the theoretical frame of Functional Systemic Linguistics (Halliday 1994), with special emphasis on the interpersonal metafunction and also on casual conversation (Eggins &Slade, 1997). The analyses embrace the acts of speech, lexicogrammatical choices and pragmatic competence. The results suggest that five-to-six-year-old children are capable of providing information exchange and posing challenges for the negotiation of power during pretend play, and that the fantasy context is propitious for interaction practice, without the presence of an adult. Note the intertext that sets a new social and cultural context based on the relationship of values and beliefs that the interactants bring from their family circle. The construction of the social self involves the recognition of social roles and the assignment of these roles among the participants. The marking of the reality and fantasy reference frames is realized through verbs in the present and past tenses in all the analyzed texts, and the findings of Musatti &Orsolini (1993); Lodge (1979); Kaper (1980); James (1982) e Van Gessel-Hotcker (1989) corroborate it. In addition, the analyses show the childrens competence concerning the use of pragmatic features of language when it comes to the structural dimensions related to the turn-taking dynamics; social, as the mutual intention to topics of conversation; cognitive, as the interactants communicative intention; and linguistic, as the use of speech markers, verbs, and pronouns to connect
