Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this study is to focus on the narratives formed in vocal interactions between infants and their caregivers, and to clarify the course of their developmental changes. Narrative is one of the parameters of communicative musicality proposed by Malloch and Trevarthen (2009), and can be said to be the structure that makes vocal interactions meaningful. Focusing on the process of narrative formation from 2 months to 5 years of age, we have constructed a theoretical model of musical development as follows: Narrative formation supported by communicative musicality appears in the binary relationship between child and caregiver from 2 months after birth. After that, through the experience of interactive narrative co-creation, children will move towards the formation of a triadic relationship that cross-references cultural types. The child's subjectivity and intentionality are important factors in establishing the narrative.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	母子間の音声相互作用を通した音楽的発達については、これまでもリズムやピッチといった要素レベルに着目して、主に児の個体能力に焦点をあてて進められてきた。MallochとTrevarthenによるコミュニカティヴ・ミュージカリティ概念の提唱は、従来的な個体能力論から関係論へのパラダイムシフトの契機となるものであった。本研究は母子間の音声コミュニケーションにおける音楽性発現の様相を詳細に分析し、双方向的に有意味なコミュニケーション、とくに文化的実践としての有意味コミュニケーションが形成される発達的道筋を明らかにした。この結果は、子育てと保育における音楽実践の在り方に示唆を与えるものとなりうる。
