Idiom comprehension in child language

[Anne Salazar Orvig]

Hi
You can also look at Virginie Laval's work (University of Poitiers in 
France) who worked on idiom comprehension both by typically developping 
 and SLI children. See for example : 
Laval, V. (2003). Idiom comprehension and metapragmatic knowledge in French 
children. Journal of Pragmatics, 35(5), 723-739.
Bernicot, J., Laval, V., & Chaminaud, S. p. (2007). Nonliteral language 
forms in children: In what order are they acquired in pragmatics and 
metapragmatics? Journal of Pragmatics, 39(12), 2115-2132
Laval, V., de Weck, G., Chaminaud, S., & Lacroix, A. (2009). Context and 
Idiom Comprehension: A Study in French-Speaking Children With a 
Phonologic-Syntactic Dysphasia. Swiss Journal of Psychology, 68(1), 51-60.
