The role of kinesic intelligence in child language development

Résumé

Kinesic intelligence is continually at play in language development. The multimodal process by which linguistic tools and structures are constructed occurs through collaboration between adults and children. Before a desire or its realization is expressed verbally, children’s thoughts and intentions are interpreted by their caregivers through the mediation of their actions, their facial expressions, their prosody, and their gestures. Children learn how to express their sensations within a triadic relationship with their environment and the input of others. Multimodal approaches to language development thus include some combination of verbal content and the accompanying prosody, facial expressions, posture, and gesture, as well as gaze, ideally taking multiple factors, such as age, context, and affordances of the situation and interlocutors, into account. This chapter presents a general framework within which the roles that kinesic intelligence and intersubjectivity play in language development may be analyzed. An analysis of conversational snippets from children’s daily lives extracted from longitudinal data contained in adult–child home recordings facilitates an investigation of how children’s sensations and experiences are at the root of the language-acquisition process in the context of everyday interaction.
