Soroli, Efstathia, Maya Hickmann † and Henriëtte Hendriks 2019 Casting an eye on motion events: Eye tracking and its implications for linguistic typology The Semantics of Dynamic Space in French: Descriptive, experimental and formal studies on motion expression, Aurnague, Michel and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 250–288 | Chapter

In the last few decades there have been several attempts to connect language use with cognitive mechanisms underlying event representation. This language-thought interface is difficult to capture and highly debated. This chapter provides an overview of empirical and experimental studies relevant to… read more

Arslangul, Arnaud, Henriëtte Hendriks, Maya Hickmann † et Annie-Claude Demagny 2018 L’ expression des procès spatiaux causatifs chez les apprenants francophones du chinois: Pousser ou entrer ? Language, Interaction and Acquisition 9:2, pp. 256–292 | Article

Cette recherche, située dans le cadre proposé par Talmy (1985, 1991, 2000), analyse la façon dont des apprenants francophones du chinois langue étrangère (un groupe de niveau intermédiaire et un groupe de niveau avancé) expriment les procès spatiaux causatifs, en comparaison avec des locuteurs… 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

Sallandre, Marie-Anne, Camille Schoder and Maya Hickmann † 2018 Chapter 17. Motion expression in children’s acquisition of French Sign Language Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners, Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa (eds.), pp. 365–390 | Chapter

Much research has examined the development of motion expression, but little is known about this domain in sign language. This study examines how signers (Deaf children aged 5–10 and adults) of French Sign Language (LSF) described clips showing voluntary motion events with variable Paths and Manners. read more

Hickmann, Maya †, Helen Engemann, Efstathia Soroli, Henriëtte Hendriks and Coralie Vincent 2017 Chapter 2. Expressing and categorizing motion in French and English: Verbal and non-verbal cognition across languages Motion and Space across Languages: Theory and applications, Ibarretxe-Antuñano, Iraide (ed.), pp. 61–94 | Chapter

Language-specific properties influence motion expression (Slobin 2004; Talmy 2000), but it is still debated whether they also influence non-verbal spatial cognition. We compare how English and French speakers perform three tasks involving motion events: non-verbal categorization based on cartoons… read more

Hickmann, Maya †, Sarah Schimke and Saveria Colonna 2015 From early to late mastery of reference: Multifunctionality and linguistic diversity The Acquisition of Reference, Serratrice, Ludovica and Shanley E.M. Allen (eds.), pp. 181–211 | Article

Developmental studies report either early or late mastery of reference during first language acquisition. This overview focuses on two dimensions that may account for this gap: the multifunctional nature of referring expressions that simultaneously contribute to linguistic organization at sentence… read more

Bassano-Bonhommo, Dominique and Maya Hickmann † 2013 Grammaticalization and first language acquisition: Crosslinguistic perspectives Grammaticalization and First Language Acquisition: Crosslinguistic perspectives, Bassano-Bonhommo, Dominique and Maya Hickmann † (eds.), pp. 1–12 | Article

Recent research shows that adult speakers of verb- vs. satellite-framed languages (Talmy, 2000) express motion events in language-specific ways in speech (Slobin 1996, 2004) and co-verbal gestures (Duncan 2005; Kita & Özyurek 2003; McNeill 1992). Although such findings suggest cross-linguistic… read more

Jaszczolt (eds.), pp. 263–288 | Article

The present chapter shares the interest of preceding contributions in the consequences of cross-linguistic diversity for language acquisition. We explore the implications of Talmy’s motion event typology (see also Luk and Vidaković, this volume) for bilingual first and adult second language… read more
