本研究旨在探討以中文為母語之四歲兒童其表現在故事敘述中之連接性。研究語料來自兒童語言資料交換系統（CHILDES）。根據Trabasso and Sperry (1985)、Chang (2004)等學者提出之分析方法，對四歲兒童的故事連接性及因果關係的語言標記進行分析之後，本研究發現在四歲的孩子的故事敘述中，往往包含了約35.89個事件，而每一個事件常有與其他僅一個事件有相互的因果關係，最常出現的事件關係類型是賦予能力關係（enablement）及動機關係（motivation）；最常被使用的語言標記是時序連接詞（temporal connectives）及零連接詞（zero connectives）。本研究之發現為兒童敘事連接性議題提供了中文的研究結果及證據。 / This study investigates Mandarin-speaking four-year-old preschoolers’ performance of story narrating by examining narrative connectivity. Thirty pieces of Mandarin Chinese data provided by children aged 4;0 to 4;11 were collected from the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES). Data was analyzed following several frameworks (e.g., Trabasso and Sperry, 1985; Chang, 2004). Results show that the four-year-old children tended to produce 35.89 events when depicting a story, and each narrative event usually had one connection to or from other events. Among the events, the most frequently found connection types were enablement and motivation; the most frequently observed linguistic devices marking connectivity were temporal connectives and zero connectives. The findings provide Mandarin Chinese results and evidence under the topic of children’s narrative connectivity.
