2024 Chapter 18. Lexical development of French-Portuguese simultaneous bilinguals: Exploration of vocabulary size, word class distribution and lexical selectivity Multilingual Acquisition and Learning: An ecosystemic view to diversity, Babatsouli, Elena (ed.), pp. 473–499 | Chapter
This study compares the lexical development of a sample of 29 simultaneous French-Portuguese bilingual children between the ages of 24 and 36 months living in France with the lexical development of a sample of 288 monolingual French children. The data show that bilingual children do not show a… read more
2021 Identification of bilingual children with Specific Language Impairment in France Language Impairment in Multilingual Settings: LITMUS in action across Europe, Armon-Lotem, Sharon and Kleanthes K. Grohmann (eds.), pp. 169–196 | Chapter
We report on the usefulness of three LITMUS tools in distinguishing bilingual children with SLI (Bi-SLI) from bilingual children with typical development (Bi-TD), in France: LITMUS-QU-NWR-FR (non-word repetition), LITMUS-SR-FR (sentence repetition), and LITMUS-PABIQ (parental questionnaire). 82… read more
2021 The influence of different first languages on LITMUS nonword-repetition and sentence repetition in second language French and second language German: A crosslinguistic approach Language Impairment in Multilingual Settings: LITMUS in action across Europe, Armon-Lotem, Sharon and Kleanthes K. Grohmann (eds.), pp. 227–262 | Chapter
The study investigates the appropriateness of the French and German LITMUS–Sentence Repetition (LITMUS–SR) and the LITMUS–Quasi–Universal–Nonword–Repetition task (LITMUS–QU–NWR) for the assessment of bilingual children with diverse language backgrounds. We examine the quantitative and qualitative… read more
2018 Chapter 9. Invariance in variation: Frequency and neighbourhood density as predictors of vocabulary size Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners, Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa (eds.), pp. 183–200 | Chapter
This article examines the influence of word frequency (WF) and neighbourhood density (ND) in vocabulary acquisition of French-speaking children. Data were collected through the French version of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory. A regression analysis based on 462 children… read more
2017 Identification of bilingual children with Specific Language Impairment in France Language Impairment in Bilingual Children: State of the art 2017, Marinis, Theodoros, Sharon Armon-Lotem and George Pontikas (eds.), pp. 331–358 | Article
We report on the usefulness of three LITMUS tools in distinguishing bilingual children with SLI (Bi-SLI) from bilingual children with typical development (Bi-TD), in France: LITMUS-NWR-FR (non-word repetition), LITMUS-SR-FR (sentence repetition), and LITMUS-PABIQ (parental questionnaire). 82… read more
2010 Stress domain effects in French phonology and phonological development Romance Linguistics 2008: Interactions in Romance, Arregi, Karlos, Zsuzsanna Fagyal, Silvina Montrul and Annie Tremblay (eds.), pp. 89–104 | Article
In this paper, we discuss two distinct data sets. The first comes from the allophonic process of closed-syllable laxing in Québec French, which targets final (stressed) vowels even though these vowels should in theory be syllabified in open syllables in lexical representations (e.g. lune [Öly. read more
2009 How do consonant feature values affect the processing of a CVCV structure? Evidence from a reading task The Role of Phonology in Reading, Penke, Martina (ed.), pp. 191–210 | Article
This paper discusses one experiment on the French language which shows that distinctive phonological feature similarity between consonants influences the processing of a C1VC2V pseudo-word during a high demanding reading task. When participants were asked to recall one of the two consonants, they… read more
