Sicilian gesture learning

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

    A friend of mine sent me this link to a YouTube video of a discussion between two-year-old Leah and her Sicilian Grandma.  I couldn't dream of a better illustration of 
1.  human imitation abilities
2.  mutual entrainment
3.  social priming
4.  culture-specific gesture learning
5.  you name it

Subtitles, anyone?  I can mostly follow the Bisnonna, but what is Leah saying?
