Description:Acquisition of COME & GO terms in Marquesan; the session shows an interaction between the researcher and the subject (8;0). The task is a replication of Danziger's Come & Go task (see 19XX); in this task there are four distinct locations with toy objects and toy animals at four different locations on a table; the subject and researcher have one location each and are facing each other; the other two locations are at either side of the table; three locations (subject, researcher and other) have a little enclosure where a toy animal lives; one location only consists of a drinking trough; researcher and subject choose an animal; the task is as follows: each animal is made to move in turn, once to the drinking trough and once to the other animals to visit each other; each move to a different location (than the animal's own enclosure) is accompanied by a return journey to the animals own enclosure; the researcher moves the animals herself, but encourages the subject move its own animal; each animal is moved between each location; when moving the animal the researcher asks the subject whether the animal is COMING or GOING.
The project investigates the acquisition of Marquesan spatial terms with a particular focus on the acquisition of an absolute system of SEAWRD/INLAND/ACROSS; the absolute system is the preferred by speakers of Marquesan when talking about spatial relations; children's ages range from 3 to 14 years;

North Marquesan is spoken on the north-western part of the Marquesan archipelago in French Polynesia; MRQ is an Oceanic language of the Austronesian language family. Within the Eastern Oceanic branch MRQ belongs to the Proto-Central-Eastern subgroup of Proto-Eastern Polynesian (Pawley 1966; Green 1966). MRQ is most closely related to South Marquesan (QMS), Hawaiían and Mangarevan forming the Proto Marquesic subgroup which is distinct from Proto Tahitic (e.g. Tahitian, Rarotongan, Tuamotuan). The Marquesan speech community is bilingual (French-Marquesan); French is the language of instruction in schools. Both Marquesan languages are highly endangered languages because parents and caretakers cease to transmit the indigenous languages to their children. In the most urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohaé, Hakahau, Atuona) where approximately 70 % of the population of the archipelago lives, most children under age 15 have acquired French as their first language.
E lived a considerable time on Tahiti (about 8 years) for educational, and later for professional and personal reasons;
