| 1-3,184 | Tray | 2A: "The tray that was drawn before" | A is referring to ALFONS 1 where B drew the tray. | ||
| 4-15 | Tray objects
Location Occupied space |
| A first mentions the objects along with their location.
A then introduces the concept of the tray consisting of three equalsized parts, each containing a particular object/group of objects. | ||
| 16-29 | Relations
Glasses objects |
| 16-24: The size of the objects are described in terms of the objects themselves.
25-29: The relations between the four glasses are described. | ||
| 30-40 | Task | 31B: "Shall I draw the plate once more or
"
33B: "or I mean the tray once more" | B focuses on the task at hand and wonders if he is to draw the tray once more. A responds by telling B to draw the tray (36,38). Between 39 and 40 the tray is drawn. | ||
| 41-45 | Pitcher | 42B: "Then it was the .."
43A: "pitcher" 45B: "The pitcher to the far left" | B has finished drawing the tray and requests another object (42). A responds (43). And B confirms that he know of the object (45). | ||
| 46-53 | Task
Location Relation | 52A: "in the left field you draw the pitcher"
| 46-49: A repeats the concept of three equalsized fields from 4-15.
52: A tells B to draw the pitcher in the left field. 53: A tells B that the pitcher is the highest object. |
| 54-77 | Appearance | 54-56B: "And it is as it was before"
63B: "Shall the proportions be the same as" 67A: "If we say that this pitcher is about six centimeters high" | Because B has drawn the pitcher before this section regards only the size of the pitcher.
Three different attempts from three different views are made to describe the size (54-56,63,67). At the end of this section the pitcher is drawn. | ||
| 78-80 | Plate | Task | 78-79A: "And in the middle you draw the plate" | Middle here is referring to the middle field of the tray according to the three unit division. | |
| 81-83 | Size | 81B: "And it was a bit lower" | The height is regarded. The plate is implicitly compared to the pitcher, it being the highest object. | ||
| 84-98 | Check | 85A: "Is it okey?"
Objects: glass, pitcher Relations: centimeters, height | Bs imagined size of the plate is compared to what A has said about sizes of other objects.
The absolute scale is found to be slightly wrong comparing to the already drawn objects, so B chooses to adjust the size of the other objects to maintain relative scale. The plate is drawn. | ||
| 99-100 | Glasses | 99B: "and then the glasses" | |||
| 101 | Location | 101A: "the glasses are then the right third and there stands" | The right third refers to the right field in the three unit concept from 4-15. | ||
| 102 | Glasses objects | 102A: "there are totally four glasses" | The number of glasses in the right third is mentioned. | ||
| 103 | Three first | 103A: "the three first stands" | |||
| 104-105 | Location | 105A: "near the lower edge" | The lower edge of the tray is meant. | ||
| 106 | Relation | 106A: "they stand next to each other" | |||
| 108-113 | Task
Appearance | 109A: "well you can draw"
111A: "stylistic glasses" 112A: "look like cylinders" | The task and appearance are mingled together into one module. |
| 114-117 | Location | 114A: "that stands exactly" | Repetition of the location from 104-105.
Glass 1 is drawn. | ||
| 118-123 | Check | Objects: tray, plate, glasses, edge
Relations: middle, closer to, foremost | A check is made how far in on the tray the glasses should be compared to the other objects.
Glass 1 is removed and redrawn. Glass 2 and 3 is drawn. | ||
| 124-126 | Task | 126B: "now I have drawn three glasses" | B tells A that he has finished drawing the glasses. | ||
| 127-132 | Fourth glass | Location
Appearance | 128A: "behind the right of the three glasses"
129A: "you have a" 130A: "a fourth glass that is not clearly visible" 131A: "you can see" 132A: "the upper opening" | A starts by telling B the location (128) of the new object. In 130 he mentions the name of the object. 130-132 deals with the appearance of the object. | |
| 133-144 | Location
Appearance | 134B: "behind the"
135B: "right glass" 138A: "stands exactly behind" 141A: "the opening of the glass" | This is a repetition of the containment of 127-132.
B starts the module by repeating the location of the fourth glass. A answers by repeating the location and appearance from 127-132. Glass 4 is drawn. | ||
| 145 | Straws | Straw objects | 145A: "yes from these four glasses there sticks up four straws" | First a general location of the new objects is pointed out and next the new objects are mentioned.
The objects are not given separate names but are associated one to each glass. | |
| 146-147 | Size | 146A: "the straws are about"
147A: "twice as long as the glasses" | The length of the straws is expressed in terms of the glasses. | ||
| 148 | Left glass | 148A: "and in the left glass" | |||
| 149-152 | Slope | 149A: "they point askew up right" | |||
| 153 | Appearance | 153A: "the lower part of the straw in the glass is a pointed line" | Straw for glass 1 is drawn. |
| 154-157 | Slope | 154A: "The slope is about"
156A: "45 degrees" | Slope is more precisely defined than in 149-152. | ||
| 158-166 | Middle glass | Slope | 158A: "in the middle glass slope is a bit less"
161A: "20 degrees or something like that" | The straw in the middle glass is indirectly referred to through the glass (158).
Slope is defined in two ways, one referring to the previous drawn straw (158), the other in degrees (161). | |
| 168, 171-172 | Right glass | 168A: "the third glass the right glass the foremost right glass" | At the end of 172 the straw for glass 3 is drawn. | ||
| 169 | Slope | 169A: "there the straw stands straight up" | |||
| 170 | Location | 170A: "that means that it is leaning against the back edge" | T is referring to the back edge of glass 3. | ||
| 173-174 | Check | 173A: "and the three straws seem to be of about the same height or" | The size relation between the three straws is checked. | ||
| 175-176, 182-183 | Back glass | 175A: "and the back straw or not the straw the back glass the back right" | |||
| 178 | Location | 178A: "and draw against the left edge and" | |||
| 179 | Slope | 179A: "stands in principle straight up" | |||
| Size | 180A: "stops at the same height as the"
181A: "fore straw" | The size is measured in terms of the location another object.
Straw for glass 4 is drawn. | |||
| 185 | Outside tray | 185A: "outside tray" | |||
| 186-187 | Location | 186A: "askew up right" | |||
| 188 | Box | 188A: "is there some kind of present box" | (Box is really a subfoci to location, but that would have grown this table to large, so it is placed below location.) | ||
| 189-203 | Shape | 189A: "that has the shape of a"
Examples: low cylinder, cut from tree-trunk, cylinder with greater diameter than height. | Following 189 there are three examples of the shape. | ||
| 204-206 | Size | 204A: "and the diameter of the box is about half the diameter of the tray" | Size of the box is expressed in terms of the size of the tray. |
| 207-208 | Task | 207A: "so there you can plain simply draw"
208A: "a cylinder that looks that way" | "looks that way" in 208 refers to the description of shape in 189-203. | ||
| 209-211 | Size | 209A: "where the height" | |||
| 212-217 | Location | 212A: "and it lies just outside the tray" | The location from 186-187 is repeated. |
