摘要 本篇論文目的在探討兒童在親子對話中行使拒絕行為的表現,研究問題如下: 1. 兒童採用哪些拒絕策略來達到拒絕的目的?2.從這些拒絕策略中,可以反映出哪些語用發展?研究的語料來自於一名以漢語為母語的小男生與他母親之間的日常對話,共擷取三個時間點的語料作為分析語用發展所用。分析結果顯示,隨著年紀越大,受試兒童在拒絕策略的數量上以及委婉度上都有明顯增加。此外,我們也發現到,隨著年紀增長,受試兒童漸漸的能跳脫自己觀點,而從別人角度出發來做拒絕回應。此外,母親行使請求的方式也影響了受試兒童的拒絕表現,當母親的請求較強勢時,受試孩童會傾向用較有技巧的方式來回應。此外,母親行使請求行為的方式也會根據受試兒童的年紀不同而有所差異。
This study aims to investigate the children’s refusal performance from a developmental perspective and how the mother’s requests affect children’s refusal strategies. We analyzed a Mandarin-speaking child’s natural conversation with his mother. The data were collected from three time points, that is 2; 7, 3; 1 and 3; 7. The refusal strategies adopted in the present study are mainly based on Wang (2001)’s categorization. After the careful examination, it is observed that the refusal strategies increased with the age. The child decreased his reliance on the most direct way to refuse. In addition, the data also showed the child’s growing ability to take his interlocutor’s perspective into account, which is consistent with previous studies about children’s pragmatic development. The child also applied his knowledge of a sincere request when making refusals.
As for the effect of the mother’s request, it is observed that the force of the mother’s request could be perceived by the child and influenced the way the child refused. When the mother’s requests were imposed, the child would apply more skill strategies to respond. Also, the child would combine refusal strategies to respond when facing more complicated request.
