Abstract

Le debat, declenche a l'origine par l'analyse des phrases sans sujet produites par des enfants anglais de deux ans, debouche rapidement sur la conception du developpement langagier chez les enfants. Deux theories s'opposent : theorie de la discontinuite et theorie de la continuite. L'auteur se prononce contre la premiere et adopte la seconde selon laquelle les jeunes enfants possedent les memes capacites cognitives et grammaticales que les adultes. L'utilisation de la phrase sans sujet releve de la performance et non d'une insuffisance de savoir linguistique
