ABSTRACT

Background & Objectives
Spoken language has incomplete structures, and prior studies in communication disorders have been lacking in this area. The present study analyzed the types of utterances and examined utterance final functioning endings of typically developing 2- to 5-year-old children.
Methods
Sixteen typically developing children participated in this study. The utterances were recorded in everyday interactional contexts. A total of 3,200 utterances were transcribed and analyzed according to utterance final intonation, final ending, completion for grammar and word order.
Results
Results showed the fragment utterances comprised the largest proportion in 2-year-old children and utterance type with sentence final ending comprised the largest proportion in other ages. In addition, the types of endings were increased according to the age increase.
Discussion & Conclusion
The results from this study were compared with adults’ utterance types and discussed in a language developmental perspective.
