Rising grammatical awareness in a French-speaking child from 18 to 36 months: uses and misuses of possession markers

Abstract: ABSTRACTChildren's awareness of grammar can be traced in the way they use and particularly misuse morphology and constructions in what Clark (2001) calls ‘emergent categories’. We focus our longitudinal study on a French speaking child's use of possession markers (Anaé,Paris Corpus), and her creative nonstandard productions (la poupée de moiforma poupée/my doll). We provi… Show more

“…2 The system in general was stable at 2;07. At the morphological level, studies of the expression of gender with ‘errors’ such as le fleur (the flower, masculine instead of feminine) or un poule and on the expression of possession (Leroy-Collombel & Morgenstern, 2012) indicate that the child acquired morpho-syntactic markers with an analytic rather than a synthetic strategy. Her morpho-syntax remained creative for a very long time: elles sontaient for elles étaient (they were) using the wrong root for the irregular verb être (to be) at 3;10; parce qu’il a pas envie les animaux (because he not want the animals – meaning ‘the animals do not want’) at 2;09.…”

“…Les auteurs qui ont travaillé sur le Paris Corpus décrivent une grande complicité entre Anaé et sa mère et une très grande complémentarité entre leurs tours de parole (Del Ré & Morgenstern, 2009 ;Leroy, 2009 (Leroy, 2010) et de l'expression de la possession (Leroy-Collombel & Morgenstern, 2012) montrent que l'enfant acquiert le langage en suivant parfois une « stratégie » analytique plutôt que syncrétique en début d'acquisition. Sa morpho-syntaxe reste donc très longtemps assez créative (à les pour aux à 2;03 ; elles sontaient pour elles étaient à 3;10 et 4;00 ; parce qu'il a pas envie les animaux à 2;09 ; le lapin s'assiya par terre à 4;00 en situation de pseudo-lecture).…”

“…Research on languages such as English, French, German, Greek, and Japanese (e.g., Brown, 1973;Clancy, 1985;Eisenbeiß, Matsuo, & Sonnenstuhl, 2009;Leroy-Collombel & Morgenstern, 2012) provides evidence that children go through similar stages in expressing possession. Young children will commonly begin by producing possessoronly constructions, followed by combinations of a possessor and possessee but lacking grammatical marking such as case inflections or adpositions, until they eventually acquire the target system of their language (see, e.g., the review by Marinis, 2016).…”
