questions on MLT of children

[zhang li1231]

Dear all,
       Recently I am interested in children's participation in the
conversation and have learned that Mean Length of Turns is a basic measure
of children's conversational skills.I want to have a further study on this
measure,however,could hardly find any.What ever does Mean Length of Turns
means?Is there any study on MLT of children?Or is there any effective
measures that can reflect children's turn-taking in the
conversation?Moreover,if I want to know how children can become an active
partner in a conversation by analyzing children's spontaneous language
samples,what project can I take?Could you please give me some
suggestion?Thanks so much.
