母親與十四個月大幼兒共讀繪本手指圖文之語句功能

Frequency and function of pointing during mothers and 14-month-old children shared book reading

本研究目的在探討親子共讀時，母親與十四個月大幼兒指向動作使用的情形，以瞭解母親與十四 個月大幼兒手指圖案或文字的次數頻率和語句功能，以及母親與幼兒使用手指圖文的關係。45 對母親與十四個月大幼兒在家共讀彼此熟悉的繪本，全程錄音錄影，研究結果顯示：1.母親、十 四個月大幼兒手指圖案的次數頻率均高於文字；2.母親指著繪本圖案或文字時，其所伴隨的語句 功能最多為「強調或傳達相同語義訊息」，其次則為「增加更完整、清楚的語義訊息」及「引導 注意」、「無法辨識」；3.十四個月大幼兒已出現大量手指圖文的指向動作，但尚未發展出清晰 可辨的口語詞彙；4.母親與十四個月大幼兒共讀時，母親手指圖文的次數與幼兒手指圖文的次數 呈現正相關。文末並對未來相關研究及親子共讀方式提出建議與討論。

This study examines use of pointing during mother-child shared book reading in order to uncover the frequency and function of pointing to pictures and to text in mothers and 14- month-old children. Forty five mother-child dyads were videotaped in their homes when children were 14 months old. Results indicate that: 1. mothers and children pointed to pictures more frequently than text; 2. emphasizing or conveying the same messages， increasing complete and clear messages and directing 14-month-old children attention were the three main functions of maternal pointing; 3. the 14-month-old children pointed a lot but the function of their pointing was not clear; 4. positive correlations were found between frequency of pointing used by mothers and those used by children. Findings are discussed and suggestions for future studies were also provided.
