Production de textes et apprentissage lexical : l'exemple du lexique de l'émotion et des sentiments

Text writing and lexical learning : the example of the lexis to express emotions. Francis Grossmann et Françoise Boch, université Grenoble III -LIDILEM. This article aims to explore, from a didactic point of view, the possible links existing between lexical learning and text writing through the example of the lexis to express emotions. The different didactic units which are presented aim to favour the reflexive awereness of the lexical operations implemented along the writing process through the developpement of metatextual and metalexical skills. This approach, by the way of units, of the lexis acquisition, relies on the Meaning / Text Theory ; it is illustrated by an analysis of some texts written by pupils in CM2 (11 year olds) which also contributes to highlight the different problems usually raised when pupils are supposed to re-use some specific lexis in their own texts.
