本研究旨在探討勞工階級新移民之子和一般臺灣兒童之敘說評價發展的差異，參與者為39位、5歲就讀於公立幼兒園之兒童。本研究以個別訪談兒童方式蒐集兒童之生活經驗敘說，並以CHILDES（MacWhinney, 2000）軟體整理、分析兒童之敘說評價語料。以家庭文化背景和性別為自變項，敘說評價代碼為依變項，研究結果如下：一、兩組兒童之基本語言能力沒有顯著差異；二、兒童之敘說評價表現與其家庭文化背景和性別顯著相關；三、家庭文化差異結果指出，新移民之子運用較多的「可能性語詞」來表達主觀的想法和感受；四、性別差異結果指出，女兒童運用較多的「意圖或希望語詞」；五、家庭文化和性別交叉效果指出，新移民之子的男兒童運用較多「不需要的語詞」和「數量語詞」，而一般臺灣女兒童則運用較多的「情感或情緒語詞」。最後，提出研究討論和建議，以供後續研究者參考運用。

This study investigated how 5-year-old Taiwanese working-class children used narrative evaluations to create narratives of past events. We recruited 39 children, among whom 20 were children of new immigrants and 19 were ordinary Taiwanese children. The number of girls and boys in each group were similar. The researcher of this study individually interviewed the children regarding their experiences. Data were organized and analyzed according to the rules of CHILDES (MacWhinney, 2000). The independent variables included family culture and gender, and the dependent variables were codes of narrative evaluations. The primary results are presented as follows: (1) No significant difference in language development was observed between the groups. (2) Family culture and gender were significantly related to the use of narrative evaluations by children. (3) Children of new immigrants were likely to use hedges to express their personal opinion and feelings. (4) Girls were likely to use words related to intention and desire. (5) Boys of new immigrants tended to use more gratuitous terms and quantifiers, whereas girls of ordinary Taiwanese families used words associated with affection. A discussion and suggestions are presented in this paper.
