This answer is based on the reformulating principle that children spontaneously apply; a principle that is illustrated here with children retelling the same story. These children are all 6, 8 or 10 years old and speak French, Italian, Croatian or Polish as a first language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book demonstrates that the acquisition of any mother tongue is explained by the application of various reformulation procedures between source predications and reformulated predications. These procedures are comparable from one language to another, and different from one age group to another. This book also studies certain complex phenomena at the lexical and syntactical levels, and analyzes how children, depending on their age, treat these phenomena. Finally, we show that the acquisition of a mother tongue is a fundamentally linguistic activity.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClaire Martinot\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Linguistics at Paris-Sorbonne University, France.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTomislava Bošnjak Botica\u003c\/b\u003e is a Full Member of the Institute of the Croatian Language and Linguistics of Zagreb, Croatia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSonia Gerolimich\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer of the French Language at the University of Udine, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUrszula Paprocka-Piotrowska\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Acquisition and Didactics of Languages at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 May 2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-ISTE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781786303677\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310849716364,"sku":"9781786303677","price":160.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781786303677_95c58a49-c76a-4201-be4c-557425e1f008.jpg?v=1780200645","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781786303677","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
