Function Words Constrain On-Line Recognition of Verbs and Nouns in French 18-Month-Olds
2013
In this experiment using the conditioned head-turn procedure, 18-month-old French-learning toddlers were trained to respond to either a target noun (“la balle”/the ball) or a target verb (“je mange”/I eat). They were then tested on target word recognition in two syntactic contexts: the target word was preceded either by a correct function word (“une balle”/a ball or “on mange”/they eat), or by an incorrect function word, signaling a word from the other category (*“on balle”/they ball or *“une mange”/a eat). We showed that 18-month-olds exploit the syntactic context on-line to recognize the target word: verbs were recognized when preceded by a personal pronoun but not when preceded by a dete…

Early perception of phrasal prosody and its role in syntactic and lexical acquisition
2018
Chapter: 2, pp. 17-35; International audience; This chapter will review empirical findings on the perception of phrasal prosody in very young infants, and how it develops in first language acquisition. The ability to process phrasal prosody impacts learning of important aspects of language, specifically word segmentation and syntactic parsing. We will see that infants are able to perceive crucial aspects of phrasal prosody before the end of their first year of life, and that a few months later they are able to exploit the prosodic structure of an utterance to constrain its syntactic analysis, and therefore, to infer the meaning of unknown words.

International audience; Dans un contexte où s'accumulent les difficultés scolaires au sein du système éducatif, puis les difficultés professionnelles sur un marché du travail de plus en plus sélectif, la question de la réussite se pose souvent en creux dans les interrogations de nombreux chercheurs. Elle constitue le thème central de ces XXIes journées du longitudinal.
Phrasal prosody constrains word segmentation in French 16-month-olds
2011
Infants who are in the process of acquiring their mother tongue have to find a way of segmenting the continuous speech stream into word-sized units. We present an experiment showing that French 16-month-olds are able to exploit phonological phrase boundaries in order to constrain lexical access. Using the conditioned head-turning technique, we showed that infants trained to turn their head for a bisyllabic word responded more often to sentences that contained this word, than to sentences that contained both syllables of this word separated by a phonological phrase boundary. We compare these results with similar results obtained with English-speaking infants, and discuss their implication fo…
Processing Continuous Speech in Infancy
2016
The present chapter focuses on fluent speech segmentation abilities in early language development. We first review studies exploring the early use of major prosodic boundary cues which allow infants to cut full utterances into smaller-sized sequences like clauses or phrases. We then summarize studies showing that word segmentation abilities emerge around 8 months, and rely on infants’ processing of various bottom-up word boundary cues and top-down known word recognition cues. Given that most of these cues are specific to the language infants are acquiring, we emphasize how the development of these abilities varies cross-linguistically, and explore their developmental origin. In particular, …
Le numérique à l'école primaire. Analyse des effets conjoints sur les élèves et les enseignants
2020
International audience; Les technologies numériques sont investies en France depuis plusieurs années par les pouvoirs politiques comme un instrument de lutte contre l'échec scolaire. L'hypothèse est parfois faite que les technologies de l'information et de la communication en éducation (TICE) améliorent sensiblement la qualité de l'éducation en modifiant et facilitant les conditions d'apprentissage des élèves. Cependant, les travaux de recherche montrent des effets relativement ambigus de l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies sur les acquis des élèves.
