초록

This study investigates the effect of parents’ formulaic expressions as language input on the emergence of their children’s verbal utterances as language output. To examine this question, this study adopts a qualitative and longitudinal case design by keeping track of the verbal utterances of a family, which consists of a pair of parents and their twin daughters from 12th month to 36th month. Among forty formulaic expressions that are selected from the parents’ verbal utterances, 30 formulaic expressions that emerged in the children’s utterances are analyzed. Then the study reselected and analyzed the effect of 20 formulaic expressions, out of the 30 formulaic expressions, on the children’s development of syntactic knowledge until 36 months olds. The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) the reliable provision of diverse language models that children can imitate is critical for the growth of linguistic syntax, 2) the quality of communication through the frequently spoken linguistic cues is the key condition for syntactic development, and 3) the meaningfulness and contextual significance of linguistic stimulus determine the effectiveness of language input. Finally, some implications from the results for understanding the role of parents’ formulaic expressions are discussed.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of parents’ formulaic expressions as language input on the emergence of their children’s verbal utterances as language output. To examine this question, this study adopts a qualitative and longitudinal case design by keeping track of the verbal utterances of a family, which consists of a pair of parents and their twin daughters from 12th month to 36th month. Among forty formulaic expressions that are selected from the parents’ verbal utterances, 30 formulaic expressions that emerged in the children’s utterances are analyzed. Then the study reselected and analyzed the effect of 20 formulaic expressions, out of the 30 formulaic expressions, on the children’s development of syntactic knowledge until 36 months olds. The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) the reliable provision of diverse language models that children can imitate is critical for the growth of linguistic syntax, 2) the quality of communication through the frequently spoken linguistic cues is the key condition for syntactic development, and 3) the meaningfulness and contextual significance of linguistic stimulus determine the effectiveness of language input. Finally, some implications from the results for understanding the role of parents’ formulaic expressions are discussed.
