Abstract

Transcribing and evaluating the narrative productions of 6 to 12 year-olds deaf children in their multimodal and bilingual dimensions confront us to the central question of gestures/signs distinction. This paper aims to discuss how the narrative skills of 30 deaf children schooled in different education settings – oralist, bilingual and “mixed” – led us to create an annotation tools in ELAN allowed to take into account the intra-modal dynamics between verbal and non-verbal material within gestural modality. We focus on two central points of our reflections. How delimit production in units into taking into account the semiotic and the structural dynamics aspects of production? How describe and categorize the gestural processes non systematized in a linguistic form to report the developmental dynamics?
