Résumé anglais L'expression de la causalité dans le discours narratif en français Ll et L2. This paper relates the results of a developmental study on the expression of causal relations in French Ll and L2: we analyze the narrative discourse of French monolingual children aged 4, 7 and 10 in comparison to the narrative production of adult German and Polish learners of French L2. The analysis focuses on temporal vs. causal interclausal linking, the semantic type of the causal relations expressed and the linguistic means used to mark them. The results highlight similarities as well as specific features in the developmental pattern of the two populations: the child's development of causal relations reflects the elaboration of an underlying narrative structure, while the adult learner produce from the very beginning complete and coherent stories; all groups of children prefer to express causal relations which preserve the temporal succession of events (preference for marking consequence), while the progressive explicitation of causal relations in L2 can be best explained as attempts to diversify temporal relations from succession (preference for marking cause and goals).
