Research Abstract

How can parents communicate with preverbal infants? Infants and parents make asymmetric contributions to their communication. This study focused on Parental Proxy Talk (PPT), which is that the parent verbalizes as if their non-verbal infant feels and thinks it. First, longitudinal data from Japanese families was analyzed on functions of PPT. The result showed 12 functional categories like Promotion of Infant's Act and Intention, Understanding the Situation, and so on. PPT can work for infants as well as for parents. Second, data from American families and Japanese ones were compared. It showed American parents use PPTs for their infants and both PPTs have similar functions. It, however, found some typical situations that showed dissimilarities, for example, an achievement situation. Japanese parents tried to share the infant's achievement as if it was parent's one using PPT. American parents avoided using PPT since they could respect the infant's own achievement.
