Communication develops from as early on as birth. Its development is in the focus area of both scientists and clinicians. Speech and language pathologists’ competences include providing significant attention to prelinguistic and linguistic period of early communication. Within those periods, communication functions and means are studied. Currently, there are not enough published studies of pre-linguistic period, especially the ones of a more recent date or the ones focused only on a segment of this period. Therefore, the goals of this study are determining the frequency order of communication functions and means in typical developing children during their second year of life as well as determining the most frequent combination of communication function and mean used during this period. Fifteen typically developing children within an age range of 13 and 23 months participated in this study. The study was conducted via video-based observation method. Each video tape contained parent-child interaction during free play in two speech therapy rooms. Checklist of Communicative Functions and Means was used to mark the functions of children’s communicative acts as well as the means they used to do so. The results of this study indicate that typically developing children dominantly communicate to comment on entities or events using pointing gesture combined with vocalization. The highest frequency of commenting function is consistent with typical communication development pattern which indicates predominance of declarative over imperative functions. Pointing gesture, most frequently combined with vocalization, complements it, increases its intelligibility before the child is able to communicate dominantly by (spoken) language. Knowing typical communication development is important to detect signs of developmental issues as early as possible and, if needed, to provide adequate support.
