Abstract: In the study, communicative learning task and individual task were designed. The communicative paradigm was used to explore the language similarity between both sides of communicative learning in different contexts. The results showed that: (1)The language similarity level between the two sides was the highest under the way of language communication, followed by the object visual way, and finally the expression and object visual way. (2)The language similarity between both sides showed an inverted U-shaped with the process of communication, and the language similarity was relatively stable from the block 6 only under the way of expression. (3)In the block 10 of the communication task, the communicative context effect of similarity was significant, but that of the individual task was not significant. The main effect of task type was not significant in the way of expression. The results suggested that: with the increase of non-language factors in the communication context, the cognitive coordination of language gradually diminished. Expression visibility promoted the formation efficiency of language referential convention. Only under the expression and object visual context the similarity showed consistency between communication task and individual task.

Key words: communication, language, context, similarity
