| Description | During our research of children's storytelling (N = 29) the potential to assess the level of communicative and hence also the social skills of children in preschool and early school age has shown. In the research we let children aged 3-9 years to tell their favorite fairy tales. Their stories were then subjected to functional psycholinguistic analysis (McCabe & Peterson, 1991), which presents a complex analysis of language means and this approach can be put rather to quantitative methods, although this demarcation is not accurate. In these analyzes it proved itself a very interesting potential of some fairy tales to assess the overall cognitive development and partly to assess the communicative and social skills (working with anaphora, work with situational model, etc.). In the case of narration the communicative and social competence organically combine and their result is a functional or nonfunctional narrative and the whole continuum between the two poles that can potentially be used to assess the level of these competencies. |
