Description
Reformulation and Acquisition of Linguistic Complexity proposes a new answer to the question of the appropriation or acquisition of a mother tongue - a complex object, one that is both stable and perpetually evolving.
This answer is based on the reformulating principle that children spontaneously apply; a principle that is illustrated here with children retelling the same story.
These children are all 6, 8 or 10 years old and speak French, Italian, Croatian or Polish as a first language. This book demonstrates that the acquisition of any mother tongue is explained by the application of various reformulation procedures between source predications and reformulated predications.
These procedures are comparable from one language to another, and different from one age group to another.
This book also studies certain complex phenomena at the lexical and syntactical levels, and analyzes how children, depending on their age, treat these phenomena.
Finally, we show that the acquisition of a mother tongue is a fundamentally linguistic activity.
