Les reprises dans les interactions logopédiste - enfant. Une alternance entre "offres" et "saisies"

Résumé

In this article, we explain how children with specific language impairment (SLI) can benefit from speech therapy by focusing on a specific process, rooted in the discursive-interactive perspective of language acquisition (Vygotsky, 1934/1997; Bruner, 1983, 1987; Bronckart et al., 1993; de Weck & Rosat, 2003). We show how a child with SLI manages to grasp the opportunities for acquisition offered by a speech therapist and the strategies used by the latter to give the child opportunities to grasp them. We develop our reflexion around this dynamic alternation between offers and uptakes whose main ingredient is the recast, and we suggest that the issues of a speech therapy rooted in communicative activities are in this dynamic.
