화자는 시의 문 종결 형식을 통하여 시적인 효과를 나타내고, 또 청자와 관계(대화)를 맺는다. 따라서 청자는 문 종결 형식의 특성으로 화자의 심리적인 의도를 파악할 수 있다. 동시에서 문의 종결 형식은 종결 어미에 기댄 종결형과 종결 어미에 기대지 않은 비종결형으로 구분이 되는데, 종결형에 의한 문 종결이 대부분이다. 종결형은 저학년에서, 비종결형은 고학년에서 사용 빈도가 높다. 의문형은 화자 자신에게 묻고 답하거나, 또는 화자 자신의 의지를 확인하는 형태가 대부분이며, 동시에서 명령형의 청자는 대체로 [-인간]이고, 청유형에서 청자는 [+인간]이다. 비종결형에 의한 문 종결은 시적의 특성인 의미의 모호성이 나타난다. 저학년 동시에서는 명사에 의한 문 종결의 빈도가 낮아 의미의 모호성 보다는 명확성을 추구하였고, 명사에 의한 문 종결의 빈도가 높은 고학년 동시에서는 의미의 명확성보다는 모호성을 추구하였다.

A speaker gets into conversation with a hearer and takes poetic effect through the telic form of poetry. Thus the hearer can understand speaker's psychological intention with the characteristics of the sentence ending form. In the children's verse, the sentence ending form is classified into telic form depending on telic ending and atleic form that doesn't depend on telic ending. The low-grade students often use the telic form, and the high-grade students often use atleic form. Most of the interrogative form is the form that the speaker talks to himself or herself or makes sure his or her purpose. And in the children's verse, generally, the hearer of the imperative form is [-human] and the auditor of the suggestion form is [+human]. The ambiguity of meaning appears in sentence ending form with atelicity. In the poetry of low-grade students, because of low frequency of sentence ending form by noun, definiteness is considered more important than the ambiguity of meaning. On the other hand, in the poetry for high-grade students, because of high frequency of sentence ending form by noun, the ambiguity of meaning is considered more important than definiteness.
