Langue française - Année 1998 - Volume 118 - Numéro 1 - Pages 6-25P. A. HALLE, French infants vocal productions: Convergence toward the adult language patterns The study of French children's vocal productions suggests that, at each period of development, the emerging and developing aspects specific to French language are those aspects which are functional, given the children's cognitive capacities. Children soon overcome the limitations imposed by physiological and biological maturation, and their vocalisations reflect native language specificity well before they can say words. Language specificity first appears in the prosodie, then in the segmentai characteristics of vocalisations. Language specificity also affects the way children's early words deviate from the adult model, and the kind of regularities that later emerge as a proto-phonology, roughly at the time of lexical burst.20 pagesSource : 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.
