Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the interactional context on the intentional communication acts of toddlers.
Methods: A total of 30 toddlers aged 12-30 months participated in the study. The participants were classified into three age groups: 12-18 months, 19-24 months, and 25-30 months. The behavior samples of the participants were collected in both free play and book reading contexts; and the total frequency of intentional communicative acts was measured, as well as the frequency of communicative acts according to the communicative functions.
Results: The total frequency of intentional communicative acts increased significantly according to age, but there was no significant interaction effect with the interactional context. The frequency of communicative acts according to the communicative function showed significant interaction effects between age and interactional context. The frequency of behavior regulation was significantly higher during free play than book reading. On the other hand, joint attention was significantly greater during book reading than in the context of free play. The interaction effects between the communicative functions and the interactional context increased depending on age.
Conclusion: The results of this study help us to understand that the intentional communication acts of toddlers have been affected by interactional contexts. Interactional contexts have to be considered for assessing the communicative acts of the toddlers.
