- Abstract
The present study aims to provide new evidence on the gestural parameters of prosody and the way they evolve in the longitudinal follow-ups of a deaf child (LSF) and a hearing bilingual child (French-LSF) between 8 and 25 months. We claim that intensity, frequency and duration are effective prosodic parameters for vocal, manual or non-manual gestures. We underline the tendencies in the gradual change of the prosodic structures in the two (bilingual and monolingual) longitudinal cases. There is a continuous change in the combination of the sets of manual and non-manual parameters with increasingly distinct boundaries and increased control over duration, amplitude, and muscular tension. Early acquisition data show some specific sequences that do not occur in the adult data ; these data provide us with a magnifying glass to consider the emerging prosodic patterns.
