Here is another instance of teacher-learner talk (from Johnson 1995: 23) which perhaps comes nearer to meeting these criteria:

Teacher: Vin, have you ever been to the movies? What’s your favourite movie?

Learner: Big.

Teacher: Big, OK, that’s a good movie, that was about a little boy inside a big man, wasn’t it?

Learner: Yeah, boy get surprise all the time.

Teacher: Yes, he was surprised, wasn’t he? Usually little boys don’t do the things that men do, do they?

Learner: No, little boy no drink.

Teacher: That’s right, little boys don’t drink.
