Abstract:

This volume is a collection of studies by some of the foremost
researchers of French acquisition in the generative framework. It
provides a unique perspective on cross-learner comparative research in
that each chapter examines the development of one component of the
grammar (functional categories) across different contexts in French
learners: i.e. first language acquisition, second language
acquisition, bilingual first language acquisition and
specifically-language impaired acquisition. This permits readers to
see how similar issues and morphosyntactic properties can be
investigated in a range of various acquisition situations, and in
turn, how each context can contribute to our general understanding of
how these morphosyntactic properties are acquired in all learners of
the same language. This state-of-the-art collection is enhanced by an
introductory chapter that provides background on current formal
generative theory, as well as a summary and synthesis of the major
trends emerging from the individual studies regarding the acquisition
of different functional categories across different learner contexts
in French.
