This study focuses on utterances that are made during pretend play, which was classified into two types; “pretending” utterances, which are made by pretending to be different characters, and “non-pretending” utterances, which are communicative words directed at self and others. The correlation between the appearance of the two types of utterances and the development of pretend play was analyzed. It was assumed that children would skillfully use pretending and non-pretending utterances depending on the situation, and these skills might be crucial for the smooth performance of pretend play. Conditions related to the spontaneous performance of pretend play by young children in kindergarten classes for 3-5-year-olds were observed, and thirty pretend play types were analyzed. “Pretending” utterances and “Non-pretending” utterances were noted based on the episode, and according to the development of play. The number of each type utterance and interactions between utterances and the development of play was qualitatively analyzed. The results indicated that pretend play developed more smoothly in episodes in which pretending utterances and non-pretending utterances were well-balanced, compared to episodes in which one of the two types of utterances appeared more often than the other. The characteristics of utterances depending on age indicated that younger children often made non-pretending utterances through which they spontaneously explained their situation to adults, or tried to interact with them. Older children, on the other hand, tended not to interact with adults., text, application/pdf}, pages = {109--118}, title = {Types of utterances in the development of pretend play<教育科学>}, volume = {69}, year = {2020}, yomi = {イダ, メグミ and シュトウ, トシモト} }
