Children's Discourse
Person, Space and Time across Languages
Maya Hickmann, University of Paris V, France

Psycholinguist Maya Hickmann presents an original comparative study of
discourse development in English, French, German, and
Chinese. Hickmann discusses the main theoretical issues in the study
of first language acquisition and provides a wide review of available
studies in three domains of child language: person, space and
time. Her findings concern the rhythm of language acquisition, its
formal and functional determinants, and its universal
vs. language-specific aspects. The conclusions stress the importance
of relating sentence and discourse determinants of acquisition in a
crosslinguistic perspective.

First Language Acquisition
Eve V. Clark, Stanford University, Stanford, CA

This study takes a comprehensive look at where and when children
acquire a first language.  It integrates social and cognitive
approaches to how children analyze, understand, and produce sounds,
words, and sentences as they learn to use language to cooperate and
achieve goals.  A usage-based approach to considering what children
learn emphasizes pragmatic factors in language use, and includes
research on word-formation, and on bilingualism and dialect-choice.
