Résumé
Taking as a point of departure the differences already discussed in J'aime à toi (Grasset 1992) between what little girls and little boys say to their mothers, this study sketches out the evolution of the capacity for intersubjectivity in male and female adolescents, and in adult men and women of various ages, based on their respective responses to cues directing them to produce a sentence using the preposition avec (with), or the adverb ensemble (together), or establishing a relationship between certain cue words including two pronouns or a possessive adjective. It would appear that female respondents try to establish a dialogic relation, especially with the other sex, while male respondents privilege the relation to the object, material or spiritual, or a less differentiated relation to another man or other men. Awareness of belonging to one's own gender could serve as a means to opening a dialogue between women and men.
