Alors, là, je vais vous expliquer comment on joue ! Explication procédurale finalisée dans une perspective développementale
Lors de la production d’une explication, les locuteurs sont confrontés à une tâche impliquant deux principaux objectifs : (i) la construction référentielle inhérente à l’objet de l’explication et (ii) la gestion de l’interaction et des interlocuteurs. L’objectif de cette étude est ainsi de voir comment une explication procédurale à enjeu interactionnel est gérée par l’enfant et à partir de quand il commence à maîtriser à la fois les contraintes r…
The role of gestural polysigns and gestural sequences in teaching mathematical concepts
In this paper, we examine the conceptual pedagogical value of representational gestures in the context of teaching halving to first graders. We use the concept of the ‘polysign’ as an analytical tool and introduce the notion of a ‘mathematics gesture sequence’ to assess the conceptual role gestures play in explicating mathematical concepts. In our study of four teachers each teaching a lesson on halving, they produced representational polysign ge…
Developmental changes in articulation rate and phonic groups during narration in French children aged four to eleven years
This paper reports on an original study designed to investigate age-related change in the way French children produce speech during oral narrative, considering both prosodic parameters – speaking rate and duration of the prosodic speech unit – and linguistic structure. Eighty-five French children aged four to eleven years were asked to tell a story after they were shown an excerpt from an animated film. All their remarks were transcribed and code…
A cross-linguistic study of the development of gesture and speech in Zulu and French oral narratives
The present study reports on a developmental and cross-linguistic study of oral narratives produced by speakers of Zulu (a Bantu language) and French (a Romance language). Specifically, we focus on oral narrative performance as a bimodal (i.e., linguistic and gestural) behaviour during the late language acquisition phase. We analyzed seventy-two oral narratives produced by L1 Zulu and French adults and primary school children aged between five an…
Studying activities that take place in speech interactions
The paper proposes a theoretical and methodological framework based on a pluralistic, concerted approach to the study of activities that take place in and through speech interactions. The framework has a general scope, applying to any collective activity taking form through language interactions. It contributes to a fuller understanding of the dynamics of activity and the emergence of the phenomena observed. The framework fits a constructivist an…
Effects of age and language on co-speech gesture production
The aim of this paper is to compare speech and co-speech gestures observed during a narrative retelling task in five- and ten-year-old children from three different linguistic groups, French, American, and Italian, in order to better understand the role of age and language in the development of multimodal monologue discourse abilities. We asked 98 five- and ten-year-old children to narrate a short, wordless cartoon. Results showed a common develo…
Gesture and language in narratives and explanations
This article addresses the effect of communicative activity on the use of language and gesture by school-age children. The present study examined oral narratives and explanations produced by children aged six and ten years on the basis of several linguistic and gestural measures. Results showed that age affects both gestural and linguistic behaviour, supporting previous findings that multimodal discourse continues to develop during the school-age…

L’incidence de la culture et de la langue dans les récits parlés et les gestes d’enfants français, italiens et américains âgés de 6 et 10 ans
La culture, la langue et l'âge ont une incidence sur les conduites langagières en général. Dans le cas présent, nous avons voulu vérifier de quelle façon les conduites narratives multimodales (paroles et gestes) sont sensibles à ces trois facteurs, afin de mieux apprécier le rôle respectif des acquisitions linguistiques et du développement cognitif dans l'évolution des capacités discursives chez l'enfant. L'étude porte sur plus de 150 récits parl…
Comparative analysis of children’s narratives at different ages
This study addresses two questions. The first question is about how children integrate linguistic, prosodic and kinesic resources into organised discourse behaviour such as oral narratives. Three event reports produced spontaneously by 9- to 11-year-old French children during interviews with an adult were extracted from a video corpus. A detailed analysis of these on four dimensions (discourse construction, voice and prosody, co-speech gestures a…
L’argumentation
Mieux que son titre : « l’argumentation », son sous-titre : « Histoire, théories et perspectives » éclaire sur le contenu de cet ouvrage édité dans la collection « Que sais-je ? ». Le premier chapitre est effectivement de nature historique. Après avoir été considérée, de l’antiquité grecque jusqu’à la fin du xixe siècle, comme un art lié à la logique (bien penser), à la rhétorique (bien parler) et à la dialectique (bien dialoguer), l’argumentatio…
Qui parle, et pourquoi ? A propos de la dimension symbolique des conduites langagières
Les approches de l'interaction verbale en France et en Suisse, si diverses soient-elles, sont plutôt à visée théorique et proposent une vision essentiellement rationnaliste (importance du paradigme cognitiviste) des conduites langagières. Plusieurs questions se posent pourtant lorsqu'on étudie les échanges langagiers : outre la prise en compte du matériau para et non-verbal, comment rendre compte de la valeur symbolique des usages langagiers ? Co…
