This article presents and discusses data on nominative and object clitics used by twelve monolingual French-speaking children aged 2;0 to 2;7 years in a spontaneous interaction setting and in an elicited production task. It is shown that nominative clitics surpass object clitics, and that reflexive clitics fare better than accusative clitics. It is argued that these two dissociations are compatible with the computational complexity hypothesis put forth by Jakubowicz and Nash (to appear), applied to the analysis of third person Romance pronominal clitics proposed by Jakubowicz, Nash, Rigaut, and Gérard (1998).

This article presents the results of an investigation on elicited production and comprehension of determiners and clitic pronouns by 13 French-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) ages 5;7 to 13;0 years and a group of 20 normal children ages 5;6 to 5;11 years. Out findings show that the children with SLI studied here do not present a general impairment on functional categories or a general deficit in processing phonological weak elements. On the contrary, they all remain sensitive to the fundamental difference between determiners (Det and clitic pronouns. Their accuracy with respect to nominative and object clitic pronouns (reflexive and accusative) varies according to the categorial and syntactic properties of these elements. These findings confirm out linguistic analysis of Romance clitic pronouns that attributes a different status to Der and clitic pronouns and further views clitic pronouns as a nonhomogeneous class.

... Her data confirms that young children (2-3 years of age) are able to establish correctly the agreement with semantically masculine nouns that have feminine form (e.g., papa 'dad' has a typically feminine ending -a, but semantically this noun is clearly masculine, as it denotes a male). DLD children and how they acquire gender has also received quite a lot of attention crosslinguistically (for Dutch Duinmeijer, 2017;Keij et al., 2012;Orgassa & Weerman, 2008;for French Jakubowicz & Roulet-Amiot, 2007;Kupisch, Müller, & Cantone, 2002;Roulet-Amiot et al., 2004;Roulet-Amiot & Jakubowicz, 2006;for Portuguese Silveira, 2011;for Greek Varlokosta & Nerantzini, 2013;for Russian Rakhlin et al., 2014;Tribushinina & Dubinkina, 2012;Tribushinina et al., 2018). Results from two experimental tasks with known words in French show that DLD children produced more agreement errors (Roulet-Amiot & Jakubowicz, 2006). ...

... Studies have shown that clitic omission can persist until the ages of four or five in various languages. For instance, this phenomenon is observed in Catalan as noted by Wexler et al. (2004;2010), European Portuguese according to Costa and Lobo (2006), French as discussed by Jakubowicz et al. (1996), Hamann, Rizzi, andFrauenfelder (1996), and Jakubowicz and Rigaut (2000). Similarly, Italian children exhibit clitic omission, a finding reported by Schaeffer (1997), and it is also a feature in Spanish as per Fujino and Sano (2002). ...

... Conséquemment, une appréciation globale du langage de l'enfant peut ne pas relever des difficultés subtiles ou spécifiques à certaines sous-composantes du langage. Le français présente de nombreux domaines de difficulté identifiés dans la morphosyntaxe, dont certains sont particulièrement en jeu durant la période préscolaire : 1. la flexion verbale (Jakubowicz, 2003 ;Jakubowicz & Nash, 2001 ;Rose & Royle, 1999 ;Royle, 2007 ;Royle & Thordardottir, 2008), 2. les pronoms clitiques (Grüter, 2005 ;Jakubowicz et al., 1998) et 3. l'accord en genre (Jakubowicz, et al., 1998 ;Jakubowicz & Roulet, 2007 ;Roulet-Amiot & Jakubowicz, 2006 ; Royle & Reising 2019 ;Royle & Stine, 2013 ;. Ce dernier domaine nous intéresse plus particulièrement car non seulement il présente un défi à l'apprentissage du français du moins en bas âge (Roulet-Amiot & Jakubowicz, 2006 ;, mais n'est pas présent en anglais, et ne peut donc pas faire partie de tâches adaptées de l'anglais. ...
