This study aimed to clarify the development of conversational style in Japanese mother-child interactions. We focused on the frequency of speech overlap as an index of Japanese conversational style, with particular attention to ne, a particle produced by the speaker, and to backchannels, such as 'uh-huh', produced by the listener that support sympathetic conversation. The results of longitudinal observations of two Japanese mother-child dyads from approximately 0;11 to 3;3 suggest that an adultlike conversational style with frequent overlaps emerges in Japanese child-directed speech around the two-word utterance period, and a child's development of ne use is closely related to this shift.
