Early childhood literacy
This is an abstract for a dissertation concerning early childhood literacy and children's development in writing and reading skills.
Sentence given:
"Børnene har dialoger, hvor de lærer og interagerer med hindanden, hvor det er tegnet som semiotisk ressource, der viser tegnproducentens virksomhed, og dermed viser tegnproducentens fortolkning af en social situation."
The author furthermore explains:
"Tegnproducenter er den, der laver tegnet. I dette tilfælde barnet. Tegnproducenten træffer en række valg ud fra de muligheder, der er til rådighed i den konkrete sociale kontekst. Umiddelbart tænker jeg på sign-maker eller the maker of signs."
However, I am not totally convinced that "sign-maker" would be correct in the context.
