Description
Summary:The space, with time, is part of fundamental categories of human cognition. The main objective of this work is to determine the transient language structuring used by French-speaking learners to express space in Mandarin. The procedure used is the analysis of an oral corpus from an experimental study during twenty months with French-speaking adult learners of three different Mandarin levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. The analysis of spatial expressions by French learners will detail the process of acquisition of the different structures expressing spatiality in Mandarin; to be more precise, we will show how the language options shape the learners production at each level of learning.
