본 연구의 목적은 영아교사 애착 및 영아의 몸짓과 영아의 언어발달 간의 관계를 알아보는데 있다. 연구대상은 전북 J시 가정어린이집과 영아전담어린이집에 63곳에 재원 중인 18~24개월 영아와 그 담임교사 84명이다. 연구결과 첫째, 영아교사 애착은 영아의 언어발달과 정적 상관관계가 나타났다. 영아교사 애착 유형별로는 긍정적정서, 접촉추구, 자기희생적온정, 근접추구, 결속, 기대감 모두 수용언어, 표현언어와 정적 상관관계가, 보호는 수용언어와 정적 상관관계가 냉담만 수용언어와 부적 상관관계가 나타났다. 둘째, 영아 몸짓의 하위요인 중 지시적몸짓은 수용언어와 부적 상관관계가, 관습적몸짓과 표상적몸짓은 표현언어와 정적 상관관계가 나타났다. 셋째, 영아교사의 애착과 영아 몸짓이 영아 언어발달에 미치는 영향력을 알아본 결과, 전체언어에 대해서는 영아교사 애착의 접촉추구가 가장 큰 영향력이 있었다. 영아 언어 유형별로는 수용언어는 영아교사 애착의 접촉추구가, 표현언어는 영아교사 애착의 결속이 가장 큰 영향력이 있는 것으로 나타나, 영아 언어발달에는 영아의 몸짓보다 영아교사의 애착이 더 큰 영향력이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 영아교사와 영아의 애착관계의 중요성을 통해 영아의 언어능력 증진을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Korean infants' use of gesture was examined with 45 10-to 17-month olds. The mothers of infants were asked to check each word in the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory-Korean (MCDI-K) vocabulary checklist if their infant had a gesture for a given word and to indicate what kind of early communicative behavior she showed in 5 different situations. The results show that infants in this study have 11 gestures, of which many are learned within the context of routines or games. Referential gestures were rarely reported. There was no positive correlation between the number of gestures and the number of expressive words. However, more qualitative measures on early communicative behaviors show that there was a positive correlation between "frequent use of gestures" and "try to communicate by verbal means".

The language of the newborn, like that of adults, is one of gesture, posture, and expression(Lewis, 1980). Helping parents understand and respond to their newborn's cues will make caring for their baby more enjoyable and may well provide the foundation for a communicative bond that will last lifetime. Infant state provides a dynamic pattern reflecting the full behavioral repertoire of the healthy infant(Brazelton, 1973, 1984). States are organized in a predictable emporal sequence and provide a basic classification of conditions that occur over and over again(Wolff, 1987). They are recognized by characteristic behavioral patterns, physiological changes, and infants' level of responsiveness. Most inportantly, however, states provide caregivers a framework for observing and understanding infants' behavior. When parents know how to determine whether their infant is sleep, awake, or drowsy, and they know the implications, recognition of states has for both the infant's behavior and for their caregiving, then a lot of hings about taking care of a newborn become much easier and more rewarding. Most parents have the skills and desire to do what is best for their infant. The skills 7373parents bring to the interaction are: the ability to read their infant's cues: to stimulate the baby through touch, movement, talking, and looking at: and to respond in a contingent manner to the infant's signals. Among the crucial skills infants bring to the interaction are perceptual abilities: hearing and seeing, the capacity to look at another for a period of time, the ability to smile, be consoled, adapt their body to holding or movement, and be regular and predictable in responding. Research demonstrates that the absence of these skills by either partner adversely affects parent-infant interaction and later development. Observing early parent-infant interactions during the hospital stay is important in order to identify parent-infant pairs in need of continued monitoring(Barnard, et al., 1989).

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among infants' nonverbal communication, maternal verbal behaviors and the infants' acquisition of vocabulary. The subjects were 93 pairs of 10 to 18 months old infants and their mothers residing in the Seoul and GyeongGi-Do area. The results were as follows : (1) In terms of the infants' nonverbal communicative means, it appeared that the group of 16~18 month olds utilized more gesture and vocalization. As regards the infants' nonverbal communicative functions in terms of social behavior and joint attention, the group of 16~18 month olds was found to perform more of the behaviors from this category than the other groups. There was a significant difference in the maternal verbal behavior among the different age groups. (2) Among the infants' nonverbal communicative means, gesture and vocalization, there appeared to be a significant relationship between vocalization and the infants' acquisition of vocabulary. In addition, there was an important relationship between the high usage of infants' nonverbal communicative functions with behavior regulation and the high usage of joint attention and the successful acquisition of vocabulary among infants. (3) Social play, which is a maternal verbal behavior categorized as one of the strategies for getting infants' attention, was significantly related to the acquisition of infants' vocabulary. (4) When mothers used more imitating sounds and mimetic words, requests for information, descriptions, conventional social expressions, and imitation to enhance responsiveness, infants were found to have acquired a larger vocabulary.
