L’objectif principal de cette recherche est d’étudier la façon dont le jeune enfant acquiert l’usage référentiel des syntagmes nominaux et des pronoms dans les dialogues avec sa mère. La question qui se pose est donc celle de déterminer si les valeurs pragmatiques de ces expressions référentielles arrivent après l’acquisition de leurs formes grammaticales ou au même moment ? Les analyses de nos suivis longitudinaux, de trois enfants francophones âgés de 1;11 à 3 ans, montrent une acquisition graduelle des catégories des déterminants du nom impliquant des phénomènes précurseurs, tels que l’utilisation des « fillers ». Nous avons relevé aussi une certaine capacité du jeune enfant à introduire, à maintenir et à réintroduire les référents avec les expressions référentielles appropriées. Ces résultats suggèrent une acquisition précoce de la valeur référentielle, en français, aussi bien pour les syntagmes nominaux que pour les pronoms. / The aim of this research is to study the way children acquire the referential use of nouns and pronouns in dialogues with their mother. The question is to determine whether the child acquires the pragmatics values of these referential expressions after their morpho-syntactic forms or at the same time? The analysis of our longitudinal data, three French-speaking children aged between 1;11 and 3 years, shows that determiner categories are gradually acquired and that the process implies the use of precursory phenomena, such as ‚filler-syllables‛. We also observe that young children show a certain ability to introduce, maintain and reintroduce referents with appropriate referential expressions. Those findings suggest that the referential valuesof nouns and pronouns are acquired from a very early age in French language.

In the perspective of discourse reference (MONDADA; DUBOIS, 1995, 2003), this paper aims to analyse like referential expressions can contribute to the writing of paragraphs, specially, to the writing of newspaper editorials. This analysis is based on studies of Textual Linguistics whose position considers the text as an activity of social interation. Specifically, it is base on studies of discourse reference as process of generate discourse referents. The corpus consists of ten editorials published in the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo in 2007. The results suggest that referential expressions contribute to the writing of paragraphs of newspaper editorials / Esta dissertação trata do uso de expressões nominais referenciais como marcadores cognitivos de parágrafos e organizadores da macroestrutura textual de editoriais de jornal. Na perspectiva da referenciação (cf. MONDADA; DUBOIS, 1995, 2003), pretende-se analisar como as expressões referenciais podem contribuir para a paragrafação, em especial, de editoriais de jornal. Essa análise situa-se no campo da Lingüística Textual cujo posicionamento considera o texto como uma atividade de interação social. Baseia-se, especificamente, em estudos da referenciação entendida como construção de objetos-de-discurso. O corpus da pesquisa constituise de dez editoriais publicados, em 2007, no jornal Folha de S. Paulo. Os resultados obtidos indicam que expressões referenciais contribuem para a paragrafação de textos do gênero editorial de jornal
