tificati<strong>on</strong> to interpretati<strong>on</strong> of events, problems,<br />

<strong>and</strong> soluti<strong>on</strong>s. For example, in beginning<br />

sessi<strong>on</strong>s, Austin asked <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> following,<br />

“Where are <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y going?”; “Who is Arthur telling<br />
