Digital devices exposure plays an increasing role in the lives of young children. The purpose of this study is to find out how much young children’s use of digital devices affects their language register and pragmatic ability. Twenty Six parents of 3∼5 ages participated in the survey and their children participated in the register study also. We classified the chosen children into low-use group and high-use group based on the total use hours of digital devices. Participants were asked to explain the process of going to a restaurant to a series of listeners who varied in linguistic competence. The results of this study were as follows: First, there were not significant group differences in narrative adequacy and NDW. But high-use group spontaneously simplified their language based on listeners such as the peer and the baby. Second, significant differences for different listeners were found on high-use group by syntactic directiveness. Lastly, there were not significant group differences in the comprehension task. These findings suggest that language expression and register limitation in young children are associated with relatively over use of digital devices. The dynamic assessment such as language register are considered useful for assessing the language ability of young children.
