Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners

Edited by Maya Hickmann †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa

Developmental research has long focused on regularities in language acquisition, minimizing factors that might be responsible for variation. Although researchers are now increasingly concerned with one or another of these factors, this volume brings together research on three different sources of… read more

Lexical Polycategoriality: Cross-linguistic, cross-theoretical and language acquisition approaches

Edited by Valentina Vapnarsky and Edy Veneziano

This book presents a collection of chapters on the nature, flexibility and acquisition of lexical categories. These long-debated issues are looked at anew by exploring the hypothesis of lexical polycategoriality –according to which lexical forms are not fully, or univocally, specified for lexical… read more

Promoting narratives through a short conversational intervention in typically-developing and high-functioning children with ASD Narrative, Literacy and Other Skills: Studies in intervention, Veneziano, Edy and Ageliki Nicolopoulou (eds.), pp. 285–312 | Chapter

This chapter describes a short conversational intervention (SCI) procedure aiming to promote narrative skills in young children. The SCI solicits children’s thinking and talk about the causes of the events in a story of a misunderstanding between two characters, The Stone story. We first report… read more

Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa 2018 Introduction. What can variation tell us about first language acquisition? Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners, Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa (eds.), pp. 1–24 | Chapter

After years of research focusing on universal regularities in child language, the study of variation has enriched our understanding of language development. Variation stems from exogenous and endogenous factors that can all influence the development of communicative capacities. This volume focuses… read more

Veneziano, Edy and Christophe Parisse 2018 Chapter 4. Retrieving meaning from noun and verb grammatical contexts: Interindividual variation among 2- to 4-year-old French-speaking children Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners, Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa (eds.), pp. 81–102 | Chapter

Ninety French-speaking children aged 2 to 4 years were presented with short utterances containing homophonous or nonce words whose object or action meaning was identifiable on the sole basis of the preceding grammatical morpheme. Items in noun and verb contexts were presented to the same children… read more

Vapnarsky, Valentina and Edy Veneziano 2017 Lexical Polycategoriality: Cross-linguistic, cross-theoretical and language acquisition approaches: An introduction Lexical Polycategoriality: Cross-linguistic, cross-theoretical and language acquisition approaches, Vapnarsky, Valentina and Edy Veneziano (eds.), pp. 1–31 | Chapter

Veneziano, Edy 2017 Noun and Verb categories in acquisition: Evidence from fillers and inflectional morphology in French-acquiring children Lexical Polycategoriality: Cross-linguistic, cross-theoretical and language acquisition approaches, Vapnarsky, Valentina and Edy Veneziano (eds.), pp. 381–411 | Chapter

Our analyses suggest that early fillers are premorphological. They help children realize phonoprosodic features, and reflect the distributional regularities of child-directed speech, but are not used to differentiate nouns from verbs, a differentiation that starts to show up a few months after… read more

Veneziano, Edy 2014 Conversation and language acquisition: Unique properties and effects Language in Interaction: Studies in honor of Eve V. Clark, Arnon, Inbal, Marisa Casillas, Chigusa Kurumada and Bruno Estigarribia (eds.), pp. 83–100 | Article

Conversational exchanges have unique properties that have a great potential for language acquisition such as the motivation to communicate, information about language meanings and structures, and the construction of new ways of expression. Results from the literature and from new data analyses show… read more
