Le rôle du niveau de maîtrise pour la représentation sémantique des prépositions spatiales en langue seconde

Abstract

This paper reports on two studies tracing the development of semantic representations for spatial prepositions in French as a second language in speakers with different proficiency levels: One study eliciting production data for specific spatial scenes, and one study eliciting acceptability judgements for the same scenes. The results indicate a continued structuration of the semantic representations over increasing proficiency levels.
