Pragmatics is the use of language in different situations. Through it, people are able to understand the “hidden” message in other people's utterances, regardless of the words used. Children develop various pragmatic skills from an early age that enable them to participate in many social interactions. However, we know that there are some disorders in which pragmatic skills do not develop as they do in normally developed children. In order to know what changes at a certain age in terms of pragmatic development, it is important to know at what age certain aspects of pragmatics become visible in children with typical development. In Croatia, there is little information about the acquisition of pragmatic skills in children with typical development. For this reason, the main goal of this work is to describe the pragmatic skills of 4 - year old Croatian children. The instrument used for this research was the Children`s Communication Checklist (CCC-2), which was first translated into Croatian and called Ljestvica dječje komunikacije. Parents filled out the checklist for their child, and there were 81 participants. Data analysis shows that 4-year-old Croatian children speak fluently and that they use syntactic rules and words correctly in their sentences. They also state the sequence of events correctly, initiate conversation appropriately, and use words and expressions appropriate to the situation. They also use nonverbal communication appropriately and maintain appropriate social relationships. Special interests are not observed in these children. In terms of gender, boys achieved less successful results in terms of speech and interests compared to girls. Moreover, when comparing English-speaking children with Croatian-speaking children, it was found that there are differences in pragmatic skills that can be attributed to cultural differences.
