Development of revision and drafting in narrative and expository texts written by French children and adolescents ( El desarrollo de la revisión y redacción de los textos narrativos y expositivos escr…
Revisions in writing aim at text improvement. Literature has shown that revision activity differs between novice and experienced writers. Our ultimate goal is to understand how children and adolescents develop the capacity to shift perspectives from language producer to language recipient — a prerequisite ability to successful revision. In this study we analyse draft and final versions of expository and narrative texts produced by French children…
Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition
Producing written noun phrases in French
This research compares the time-course of the written production of bare nouns to that of noun phrases. French adults named pictures of objects either using or not using determiners. Resulting pauses and writing rates were analyzed in relation to word-orthographic frequency, syllabic length, and phoneme-to-grapheme consistency at the end of words. More specifically, we showed that the noun production process begins as soon the determiner producti…
Developing a depersonalized stance through linguistic means in typologically different languages
Attaining rhetorical competence requires the capacity to use linguistic form to communicate discourse stance as well as discourse content. Languages provide their speakers with a range of options to express content in ways that reveal orientation, generality of reference, and attitude to the propositional content of their message to create a more involved or detached discourse stance. This paper focuses on the linguistic means used by children (9…
Impact du discours adressé à l’enfant sur l’acquisition des verbes en français
Bien que l’argument de la pauvreté du stimulus (Chomsky, 1965) ait clairement mis en question le discours adressé à l’enfant comme source d’acquisition du langage, des études ont mis en évidence ses spécificités et relancent la question des caractéristiques du discours adressé à l’enfant comme facteurs d’acquisition du langage. Ces dernières années, l’impact des caractéristiques spécifiques aux langues dans l’input maternel a été l’objet de nombr…
Developmental perspectives on the role of French on in written and spoken expository texts
L'acquisition du langage
L'acquisition du langage est une étape majeure de la vie des enfants. Partout dans le monde, tout enfant apprenant à parler doit se construire, pendant la petite enfance, par lui-même et pour lui-même, ses propres connaissances de la langue afin d'être à même de communiquer. La relation entre les aspects universels de ce processus d'acquisition et les aspects spécifiques d'une langue et d'une culture données est au centre des recherches sur le la…
Passive voice constructions in written texts
The distribution of passive constructions is examined in written texts produced by native speakers of five Languages (Dutch, English, French, Hebrew, and Spanish), from four Age groups (aged 9–10, 12–13, 15–16 years, and adults). These languages contrast in the variety of structures available to promote a patient and to downgrade an agent in event encoding. The results show significant effects of Language and Age. When a language has productive a…
Propositional attitudes in written and spoken language
This study considers the use of modal expressions (auxiliaries like should , can ), semi-modals (e.g. have to , be likely to ), and adverbials and complement-taking expressions ( maybe, it is possible that ) to convey the attitudes and feelings of speaker/writers about the events they describe and the ideas they express. The topic of “propositional attitudes” thus overlaps with the domains of linguistic analysis known as “mood and modality.” This…
Increasing cohesion in narratives
The informational adequacy of children's referential expressions in narrative texts has received considerable attention in the literature (Warden 1976, 1981; Karmiloff–Smith 1981, 1986; Hickmann 1987, 1991; Bamberg 1987; Wigglesworth 1990, 1997; Kail and Hickmann 1992; Berman and Slobin 1994; Hickmann et al. 1995; Van der Lely 1997). Much of this research has concentrated on the referential appropriateness of form of the noun phrase (definite or …
Language mixing in the weak language
Relative clauses in French children's narrative texts
This study investigates the use of relative clauses in French children's narrative monologues. Narrative texts were collected from French-speaking monolinguals in four age groups (five, seven, ten years and adults). Twenty subjects from each group were asked to tell a story based on a picture book consisting of twenty-four images without text ( Frog, Where are you? ). Relative constructions were coded following the categories defined by Dasinger …
La langue faible (l’anglais) chez un enfant bilingue anglais-français
Cette étude de cas souligne le rôle de la production dans le développement de la langue faible chez un enfant bilingue français-anglais. En dépit du fait que l’enfant était exposé aux deux langues depuis la naissance, le français est très dominant dans la production. Lors d’un séjour de deux mois en pays anglophone, l’anglais se développe rapidement. Nous retraçons en particulier l’évolution de la forme AUX V-ing qui montre une trajectoire très d…
Sentence connectors in french children's monologue performance
French preschoolers' use of et pis ('and then')
This research proposes a taxonomy for evaluating children's uses of sentence connectives. It is used to examine et pis ('and then') in the speech of monolingual French children ranging in age from 3 to 5 years and participating in a classroom-based 'show and tell' session. The younger children are shown to encode a wider variety of logico- semantic relations with et pis. The older children narrow down the range of logico-semantic relations encode…
