Description
Summary:The Present Perfect is a grammatical combination that encompasses temporal, semantic and pragmatic properties. This seems to be particularly challenging in language acquisition. Considering the numerous works on the acquisition of the verb phrase, the study of the emergence and the development of the Present Perfect can help us better understand the nature of this construction and it can enable us to seize how it appears and expands in the child’s speech. In this article, we introduce diverse theoretical approaches and we account for the choice of a conversational corpus that we study in the light of our theoretical background. We examine the methodology and the choice of an appropriate protocol and coding of the data to show how we organise and classify the data. The first results are also analysed and discussed in order to show the importance of having both quantitative and qualitative multimodal analyses.
