Spatial reference in French children's narrative: a crosslinguistic perspective Although the expression of motion and location follows some universal principles of organization, recent crosslinguistic research has shown that language-specific properties may affect how children acquire the relevant linguistic devices. Little is known, however, concerning spatial reference in French within this perspective and more research is necessary concerning the role of discourse determinants across languages. The present study addresses these questions by comparing narratives produced by adults and children in French and English. The results show large variations in predicate use across these languages at all ages, but similar developmental progressions in the ability to provide spatial anchors in discourse. The conclusion highlights the impact of language-specific properties on the organization of spatial reference at the sentence level, as well as the impact of universal discourse determinants in the developmental process.
