| Summary: | The author reminds the technical definition of reformulation she proposed in 1994 and shows that this definition makes it possible to account both for adults’ spontaneous speech productions and for children’s productions. This definition also explains how children acquire their first language by transforming adult utterances following a unique principle. These several types of the same principle of reformulation are correlated with the age of children and with the complexity degree of source utterances. At the same time, they show the transformist ability of each child. This ability to reformulate can and has to be systematically trained in the class-room so that the paraphrastic stock of each child grows. This is in fact an essential condition to command the first language. |
