This paper is an overview of the grammatical and metacognitive verbalisations produced by native learners in difficulty with their mother tongue. Erroneous linguistic structures and mysterious behavior are often disregarded in schoolroom contexts as well as in research work. In studying the end-products and their meta-interpretation we have tried to clarify the complex network of grammatical representations. If meta-grammatical activity is a powerful means of appropriation and of elaboration of representations, our work shows in what way it can also be an obstacle to learning. At the same time the results we have obtained, have enabled us to bring to the fore the constituent elements of ordinary knowledge and thus to help sorting out the concept of ordinary grammatical culture. 12 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
