초록

This study was carried out to examine Korean preschoolers' use of literate language usage in oral narratives of a wordless picture book. 315 preschoolers aged from 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds' narratives were coded for literate language features, which were elaborated noun phrases, adverbs, conjunctions, mental verbs and linguistic verbs. The results of this study showed that literate language features were present in preschool children's narratives, and that the usage rate for the most of features varied significantly across the preschool age group. The oral narratives of 3-year-old children contained fewer adverbial phrases and conjunctions than the oral narratives of 4- or 5-year old children. Additionally, the narratives of 3-or 4-year old children contained fewer simple and complex noun phrases, adverbs and linguistic verbs than the narratives of 5-year-old children. It seems that most of the literate language features in Korean preschoolers develop distinctively at age 5. The results of the gender difference investigation showed no difference for literate language features. Korean preschoolers' use of literate language in spoken narratives not only converge on the previous results from American young children, but also show unique literate language use.

Abstract

This study was carried out to examine Korean preschoolers' use of literate language usage in oral narratives of a wordless picture book. 315 preschoolers aged from 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds' narratives were coded for literate language features, which were elaborated noun phrases, adverbs, conjunctions, mental verbs and linguistic verbs. The results of this study showed that literate language features were present in preschool children's narratives, and that the usage rate for the most of features varied significantly across the preschool age group. The oral narratives of 3-year-old children contained fewer adverbial phrases and conjunctions than the oral narratives of 4- or 5-year old children. Additionally, the narratives of 3-or 4-year old children contained fewer simple and complex noun phrases, adverbs and linguistic verbs than the narratives of 5-year-old children. It seems that most of the literate language features in Korean preschoolers develop distinctively at age 5. The results of the gender difference investigation showed no difference for literate language features. Korean preschoolers' use of literate language in spoken narratives not only converge on the previous results from American young children, but also show unique literate language use.
