Playing with Pronouns in French Maternal Speech to Prelingual Infants.
Rabain-Jamin, Jacqueline; Sabeau-Jouannet, Emilie
Journal of Child Language, v16 n2 p217-38 Jun 1989
Investigation of French mothers' (N=6) use of pronouns to refer to their infants during free play showed that third- and first-person pronouns occurred more often in the context of affect-oriented activities than in goal-directed activities. Second-person pronoun usage occurred more frequently in goal-directed activities. (Author/CB)
