Exploring the connection between language and action, this work presents a discursive theory that examines social relationships. Mediated Discourse Theory posits that language serves as both a form of action and is indirectly linked to other human actions. Through an empirical study of a one-year-old child learning object exchange with caregivers, the author challenges the notion that all practices are represented in discourse and that discourse inherently structures practice, offering a fresh perspective on communication and social interaction.
