- Abstract
The evaluation of young children's vocabulary is a challenge because few instruments reflect the vocabulary learning process. Based on knowledge about the development of lexical fields, this article proposes to organize and present data collected from interviews with the help of semantic maps. In order to describe the contribution of such an approach, two of these semantic maps are exposed, showing the expressive vocabulary of two children of 4 and 6 years of age before and after a learning activity on the four seasons. The advantages and limits of this approach are described and discussed, since this article intends to contribute to the creation of new instruments and new methods, complementary to existing instruments assessing the vocabulary of young children.
