Development of the mother tongue: Incidence of gender with a pragmatic vision. Desarrollo de la lengua materna: Incidencia del género con una visión pragmática.

Abstract

The research analyzed through different activities the various pragmatic components in the spontaneous speech of a boy and a girl, considering mainly the variables of the development of conversational speech and the concepts for their analysis. The main objective was established to verify if there is an impact on gender in the language development of a boy and a girl at the age of 3 years old with a pragmatic approach. A descriptive qualitative research was carried out, using an evaluation model. The activities proposed and carried out individually are described with strict monitoring by the researchers. The context is framed in real and trustful situations for the participants. The results show that the context is one of the influencing factors in the final argument, but the incidence of gender does not show a significant difference. The participation of the boy and the girl during an activity can vary depending on the context and the closeness with the interlocutors. In the case of this research, the influence of the social context was evident; it follows that it is not gender that influences the development of the pragmatic component in situations of spontaneous speech.
