The Acquisition of Verbal Morphology by Child Classroom EFL Learners in Russia and China
We investigate the effects of age and first language (L1) on the acquisition of verb morphology in L2 English by Chinese and Russian children learning English as a foreign language in EFL schools in Shanghai and Moscow. We tested children 5 years after they started their EFL classes and considered two groups in each country: one group started EFL classes at the age of 4 and was tested at the age of 9, while the other group started at 7 and was te…
Constructions expressing voluntary and caused motion events in Polish. Evidence from Oral Narratives
In the present analysis of the voluntary and caused-motion data in Polish, we drew on the elaboration on Talmy’s typology carried out by Croft et al. (2010) and concentrated on event types rather than classification of a language as a whole. Croft et al. (2010) describe a number of factors which determine the level of integration of the construction used for describing a given motion situation. In a nutshell, the more untypical path or manner of …

Lexicalization of Pulling and Pushing Events in Polish and English
This study examines and compares the lexicalization patterns of pulling and pushing events in two satellite-framed languages: Polish and English. On the basis of the descriptions of pulling and pushing events in two novels and their translations from Polish into English and English into Polish, four main differences between the lexicalisation of caused motion in Polish and English were found. First, with regards to our token analysis, Polish data…
The Influence of Multilingual Experience on Executive Function and Structure Learning
Most studies regarding the relationship between multilingualism and cognitive control reduce linguistic diversity to a dichotomous comparison, viz., monolinguals vs. bilinguals, failing to capture the multifactorial nature of multilingualism. Language research is largely restricted to the Global North, albeit most of the world's population resides in the Global South, limiting the interpretability of the existing literature. Cognitive performance…
Running or crossing? Children's expression of voluntary motion in English, German, and French
Much research has focused on the expression of voluntary motion (Slobin, 2004; Talmy, 2000). The present study contributes to this body of research by comparing how children (three to ten years) and adults narrated short, animated cartoons in English and German ( satellite-framed languages) vs. French ( verb-framed ). The cartoons showed agents displacing themselves in variable Manners along different Paths (Path saliency and variance were specif…
Caused motion events in Modern Uyghur
Talmy’s motion event typology (Talmy, Leonard. 2000 . Towards a cognitive semantics: Conceptual structuring systems , vol. 2. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press) has served as an influential framework for exploring event representation across languages. While confirming its basic premises, many studies argued that the typology cannot fully capture the vast intra- and inter-typological variations. Consequently, proposals have been made to expand the typ…
Voluntary motion events in Uyghur
Caused motion across child languages
Previous research on motion expression indicates that typological properties influence how speakers select and express information in discourse (Slobin, 2004; Talmy, 2000). The present study further addresses this question by examining the expression of caused motion by adults and children (three to ten years) in French ( Verb-framed ) vs. English and German ( Satellite-framed ). Participants narrated short animated cartoons showing an agent disp…

Space, language, and cognition
In this introductory chapter to the present special issue about “Space, language and cognition: developmental perspectives”, we introduce some of the main questions that are currently debated concerning the relationships between cognitive and linguistic representations in the domain of space. This collection of papers addresses these questions by bringing together contributions from different disciplines, theoretical perspectives, and methodologi…
Learning to talk and gesture about motion in French
This study explores how French adults and children aged four and six years talk and gesture about voluntary motion, examining (1) how they encode path and manner in speech, (2) how they encode this information in accompanying gestures; and (3) whether gestures are co-expressive with speech or express other information. When path and manner are equally relevant, children's and adults' speech and gestures both focus on path, rather than on manner. …
Static and dynamic location in French and in English
Available research (Bowerman & Choi, 2003; Slobin, 1996) shows crosslinguistic differences in how children talk about space, suggesting the impact of languagespecific factors on language acquisition. This study compares the productions of French children aged 3, 4 and 5 years (N = 60) with those of French and English adults (N = 40) in two tasks that required them to locate objects and to describe object displacements. French adults frequently re…

L'expression de la localisation et du mouvement dans les descriptions et les récits en L1 et en L2
Henriëtte Hendriks, Marzena Watorek, Patrizia Giuliano : L'expression de la localisation et du mouvement dans les descriptions et les récits en L1 et en L2. Recent research in language acquisition suggests that an important factor causing the difference between child L1 and adult L2 acquisition is the capacity to engage in complex verbal tasks. Thus, the construction of discourse (with its conceptual and linguistic complexities) seems constrained…
L'expression de la localisation et du mouvement dans les descriptions et les récits en L1 et en L2
Recent research in language acquisition suggests that an important factor causing the difference between child L1 and adult L2 acquisition is the capacity to engage in complex verbal tasks. Thus, the construction of discourse (with its conceptual and linguistic complexities) seems constraint in the adult L2 case mainly by a lack of linguistic means; in the child L1 case by the gradual development of conceptual and communicative capacities. We tes…
Cohesion and anaphora in children's narratives
The aim of this study is to determine universal vs. language-specific aspects of children's ability to organize cohesive anaphoric relations in discourse. Analyses examine narratives produced on the basis of two picture sequences by subjects of four ages (preschoolers, seven-year-olds, ten-year-olds, adults) in four languages: English ( n = 80), German ( n = 40), French ( n = 40), and Mandarin Chinese ( n = 40). Particular attention is placed on …
The marking of new information in children's narratives
This study examines children's uses of nominal determiners (‘local markings’) and utterance structure (‘global markings’) to introduce new referents. Two narratives were elicited from preschoolers, seven-year-olds, ten-year-olds, and adults in English ( N = 80), French ( N = 40), German ( N = 40), and Chinese ( N = 40). Given typological differences (e.g. richness of morphology), these languages rely differentially on local vs. global devices to …
