To characterize the performance of preschoolers with typical language development in tasks of expressive vocabulary and oral narrative and to verify possible correlations.
The study included 39 children aged 4 to 6 years old, of both genders, with no complaints about language development. Mothers answered a questionnaire of socioeconomic classification, while the ABFW Vocabulary Test was used to evaluate the vocabulary and the book "Frog, where are you?" was used to elicit the child's oral narrative. The data collected were submitted to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis.
Regarding expressive vocabulary, the majority of preschoolers (92.3%) had the usual verbal designation (UVD) suitable for the age group, and the semantic fields with the highest UVD were "animals", "shapes and colors", "toys and musical instruments", "transportation" and those with children were "professions" and "local". The predominant type of narrative was causal, followed by intentional. There was no correlation between UVD and the use of words in the narratives, but there was a positive correlation between the total and the number of different words used in the narrative.
There was no correlation between the expressive vocabulary (UVD) and the use of words in the narrative, but the preschoolers who used more words in their narratives also showed greater lexical variety in this sample.
描述具有典型语言发育的学龄前儿童在表达性词汇和口头叙事任务中的表现，并验证可能的相关性。
本研究纳入了 39 名 4 至 6 岁的儿童，他们的性别不限，且均未对语言发育提出任何投诉。母亲们回答了一份社会经济分类问卷，同时使用 ABFW 词汇测试评估词汇量，使用“青蛙，你在哪里？”这本书来引出孩子的口头叙事。收集的数据进行了描述性和推断性统计分析。
在表达性词汇方面，大多数学龄前儿童（92.3%）具有适合年龄组的常规口头命名（UVD），且 UVD 最高的语义领域为“动物”、“形状和颜色”、“玩具和乐器”、“交通工具”以及与儿童相关的“职业”和“地点”。主要的叙事类型是因果关系，其次是意向性。UVD 与叙事中使用的词汇之间没有相关性，但叙事的总词汇量和使用的不同词汇数量之间存在正相关。
表达性词汇（UVD）与叙事中使用的词汇之间没有相关性，但在本样本中，在叙事中使用更多词汇的学龄前儿童也表现出更大的词汇多样性。
