Methodology and update of hypothesis

Hypothesis
'The sentence mood used by the carer will affect the length of answer the child will reply with'


I was going to do a hypothesis with two sections - using part of chomsky's theory idea as the other half of it but it proved to be too much so I realised I should focus on just one hypothesis instead of mixing two together.


The data I hope to collect if unable to collect it in person will be from the Internet (most likely YouTube) and it will consist of a young child about ( add age here - talk to Halla ) doing an activity such as drawing whilst talking to their parent/carer. The reasoning for the activity is because I will be analysing the conversation which will hopefully be about what the child is doing - I will analyse the speech of the child to see if the responses will be varied due to certain sentence moods the parent/carer may use.

(Need help to write more, don't understand how to write a methodology).

Data - I aim to collect data of my cousin and their child's conversation.
