Abstract

ABSTRACT

The work reported in this paper purports to investigate communicative competence in oral language developed by school children (average age 8:2). Discourses produced in both first language and second language were analysed through measures related to lexical access, syntactic accuracy and complexity of grammatical structures constructed by speakers. Results indicate that differences in communicative competence between codes are associated with basic processes of lexical and morphosyntactic encoding.
