2-5세 정상 아동의 연결어미 발달

The Development of Connect ive Endings of 2-5 Year Old Normal Children

본 연구는 2-5세 정상 아동 160명을 대상으로, 다섯 가지 의미관계의 연결어미 산출의 연령 증가에 따른 산출능력의 변화와 각 연령 내에서의 의미관계간 발달 양상을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 검사한 연결어미 의미관계는 나열, 동시, 계기, 대립 및 이유·원인 등이다. 연구결과 연령이 증가할수록 각 의미관계 연결어미의 산출점수가 증가하였고 다섯 가지 의미관계 전체에 걸쳐 2;0- 3;5세에는 연결어미의 산출능력이 매우 낮고, 3;6- 4;5세에서 활발히 발달 하다가 4;6세 이후에는 각 의미관계의 연결어미를 거의 정확하게 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 정상 아동들의 문법형태소 발달 과정을 추적하고 연결어미 발달 지도를 제시하여 언어장애를 가진 아동들의 진단과 치료를 위한 근거 자료를 제시하고자 하였다.

The present study investigated the development of connective endings of 5 semantic relation s ( list , simultaneity , succession , contrast , and reason·causality ). 160 normal children aged 2- 5 year s old participated in this study . T hey were divided into 8 age groups by 6 month interval. Each subject was presented 5 picture cards for list connective endings, 5 for simultaneity , 5 for succession , 5 for contrast , and 5 for reason·causality ( 25 cards in total). 2 year olds were presented only 3 cards for connective endings of each semantic relation. He/ she was required to speak connective sentences. All utterances were tape - recorded and transcribed later . T wo judges (including the author ) scored subject s connective ending s of each semantic relation . ANOVA test was administered to analyze the data. The result s were as follows : (1) The ability to speak connective endings of 5 semantic relation s developed as age increased. And it was stabilized at about 4;6- 4;11. (2) - ko of list and contrast was developed fir st . It was used frequently even for succession and simultaneity at younger ages . (3) - (a/ e)so was used for succession and reason·causality from early ages (e.g ., 2;0- 2;5).
