Abstract In this paper I examine how children and their parents engage the participation of others specifically in the context of play. Video-recorded data from everyday family interactions with at least one child between the ages of 3 and 6 were collected. In this paper I analyze the activity of recruiting, finding that wanna-format recruiting is more versatile than let's-format recruiting. Let's-format recruiting occurs only when the interactants are already engaged in an activity together, whereas wanna-format recruiting can occur then and when the interactants are not engaged together in an activity. This paper has implications for our understanding of participation in the context of play activities and the concept of recruitment. Data are in American and Canadian English.

如何让别人和你一起玩：招募他人参加家庭游戏活动的格式差异

摘要 在本文中，我研究了儿童及其父母如何在游戏的背景下让其他人参与其中。收集了与至少一名 3 至 6 岁儿童的日常家庭互动的视频记录数据。在这篇论文中，我分析了招聘活动，发现想要式招聘比让我们式招聘更通用。Let's-format 招聘仅在交互者已经一起参与一项活动时发生，而 Want-format 招聘可以在交互者没有一起参与一项活动时发生。本文对我们理解游戏活动背景下的参与和招募概念具有重要意义。数据为美国和加拿大英语。
