This paper reports on an original study designed to investigate age-related change in the way French children produce speech during oral narrative, considering both prosodic parameters - speaking rate and duration of the prosodic speech unit - and linguistic structure. Eighty-five French children aged four to eleven years were asked to tell a story after they were shown an excerpt from an animated film. All their remarks were transcribed and coded using ELAN as an annotation tool.

- The study highlights a lack of research on how covert (internal) and overt (observable) orofacial gestures interact, especially in the context of speech perception theories.
- Results indicate that dynamic movements of the mandible and lips significantly disrupt an inner speech task, while static facial configurations or manual actions do not have the same effect.
- The authors suggest that incorporating these orofacial movements into dual-task experiments could provide insights into the motor processes involved in speech perception.
