The document discusses conversational repair and presuppositions in child language development. It describes how children at different stages will repair a misunderstood message by revising speech sounds, words, or grammar. The ability to effectively engage in repair develops with more sophisticated language skills. Presuppositions, or assumptions about shared knowledge with the listener, also emerge gradually as children's language advances. The document also examines repair in conversations involving speakers with aphasia and how slowed speech rates can improve comprehension.
