Negation in French chat: Learners vs. non-learners

van Compernolle, R. A., & Williams, L. (2006, September). "Variation of negative particle use in electronic French discourse: Educational and non-educational contexts." Paper presented at the 2006 conference of the Association for French Language Studies, September 3-5, 2006, Bristol, England.

This research investigates the variable deletion of ne in two corpora of French chat: one produced by non-learners in public, free-access chat environments and the other produced by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year learners of French in an educational context. Selected internal linguistic and pragmatic factors constraining the variation are considered.
