Abstract
The aim of our research is to understand the language disturbances in Down syndrome children. Several studies demonstrated substantial differences between sociolanguage behaviours of mothers' Down syndrome children and those of mothers of non retarded children. We propose that these differences can explain DS language disturbances. So, we have compared 12 mother-child dyads (4 Down syndrome children are from 8 to 9 years, 4 are from 12 to 13 years and 4 are from 16 to 17 years). Dyads play in tutorial interaction. Results show language abilities evolution for Down syndrome subjects. Nevertheless, mothers' sociolanguage behaviors do no change.
