The present paper investigates the informative and referential pragmatic function parent-child interactions in Irbid City, Jordan. A sample of 100 school children from different areas of Irbid was chosen randomly from Irbid governorate in North Jordan. It consisted of grade 5 pupils who are 11 years old. Half of the samples were males, whereas the second half were females. A questionnaire of five items was given to the sample to measure the expressive and emotive pragmatic function. The results indicated that parent-child interactions in Jordan exhibit this pragmatic function. The results also showed that parents’ interactions affect children’s personality and behavior positively through applying certain tactics and styles.
