Acquisition du langage et genres énonciatifs

Ioanna Berthoud-Papandropoulou, Helga Kilcher : Acquisition du langage et genres énoncíatifs. The concept of genre is taken in a pragmatic and enunciative sense. Starting from basic mother-child interactions, children develop various enunciative genres, mastering other roles than speaker-hearer (e.g., overhearer, messenger, narrator). Two studies are reported, involving children aged 4 to 9, concerning (a) the capacity to transmit messages between two conversational partners, and (b) the capacity to detect and repair misunderstandings arising in a dialogue. Results show how children progressively coordinate communicative intentions and meanings, thus extending conversational skills towards complex enunciative genres.Berthoud-Papandropoulou Ioanna, Helga Kilcher.
