This article aims to demonstrate the value of the analysis of maternal language in the study of mother-infant interactions. It reviews questions confronting three types of data in the literature: modifications in the language of mothers when they address a baby, the early mother infant interactions in their verbal and non-verbal aspects, the recent linguistic findings and notably those of utterance acts theory. The different approaches discussed complement each other. Through them one sees how the analysis of maternal language can enrich the description of observable behavior in mother-child interactions and can make possible the exploration of the successive representations which the mother has both of her child and of herself as a maternal figure. In conclusion, we propose several lines of inquiry, drawn from utterance acts theory, which reveals the relationship between the words addressed to the baby, the partners in the interaction, and the situational context. This permits us to look at the way in which the baby's identity as a subject is progressively constituted for the mother.
本文旨在论证母亲语言分析在母婴互动研究中的价值。它回顾了文献中三类数据所面临的问题：母亲与婴儿交流时语言的变化、早期母婴互动的言语和非言语方面、近期的语言学研究成果，尤其是话语行为理论的研究成果。所讨论的不同方法相互补充。通过这些方法，可以看到母亲语言分析如何丰富对母婴互动中可观察行为的描述，并使探索母亲对自己孩子以及作为母亲形象的自身的连续表征成为可能。总之，我们从话语行为理论中提出了几条探究思路，该理论揭示了对婴儿所说的话语、互动中的伙伴以及情境之间的关系。这使我们能够审视婴儿作为主体的身份是如何在母亲眼中逐步形成的。
