幼兒의 質問 話行에 대한 應對 方法 硏究 －32個月∼43個月 兒童의 縱的 자료를 대상으로－

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a longitudinal research on methods of responses to question speech acts of early childhood. The subjects were four early childhood between 32 and 43 months old. The responses to questions were sub-divided for analyzing the specific modes of occurrence, and methods of responses according to the types of precedent questions were also identified. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the responses to questions were divided into preferred and non- preferred responses. The preferred responses were sub-divided into simple and extended responses, and the simple responses were dominant in early childhood with remarkably higher frequency when compared to those of adults. Out of the extended responses, additional extension was highly shown. Second, out of the non-preferred responses, responses of performing aspect were highly shown, and response avoidance was frequent. While adults evade response avoidance because it can induce communication disturbance or struggles in interpersonal relationships, the early childhood were shown to perform it as they could not recognize its attributes. Also in the non-preferred responses at information level, the early childhood performed them due to lack of competence or world knowledge, showing difference from adults. Third, as for the types of precedent questions, non-preferred responses were highly shown in responses to wh-questions.
