Multiparty interactions are crucial situations to study how children can participate in collaborative talk and broaden their experience of various interactional practices. Family dinners are particularly relevant to analyze how children and adults play different participatory roles and how parents… read more | Chapter
2021. Chapter 2. Filler syllables as precursors of referring expressions. The Acquisition of Referring Expressions: A dialogical approach, Salazar-Orvig, Anne, Geneviève de Weck, Rouba Hassan and Annie Rialland (eds.), pp. 42–80
In this chapter, we examine the properties of filler syllables as transition forms in the development of referring expressions.

2015. Chapter 9. First and second person pronouns in two mother-child dyads. The Pragmatics of Personal Pronouns, Gardelle, Laure and Sandrine Sorlin (eds.), pp. 173–194
First and second person pronouns are complex categories for children to acquire. During a transitional period, when they start referring to themselves as subjects, French-speaking children produce a variety of non-conventional forms. The analysis of these uses provide valuable insights on how they… read more | Article
2012. From gesture to sign and from gesture to word: Pointing in deaf and hearing children. Gesture and Multimodal Development, Colletta, Jean-Marc and Michèle Guidetti (eds.), pp. 49–78
In this paper, we explore the issue of (dis)continuity between gestures and signs and gestures and words by comparing three longitudinal follow-ups of a hearing monolingual French speaking child, a deaf signing child (LSF), and a hearing bilingual (French-LSF) child. Our study indicates that the… read more | Article
