Maintaining and Reintroducing Referents in French: Cognitive Constraints and Development of Narrative Skills.
Vion, Monique; Colas, Annie
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v72 n1 p32-50 Jan 1999
French-speaking children and adults heard silent comic-strip stories that differed by frame display mode, explicitness of the links between depicted events, and whether the topic changed on the last frame. Subjects' use of referents for the last frame indicated that manipulation of context was a good means of assessing speakers' acquisition of within-discourse referencing expressions and narrative skills.
