Abstract
(en) A word-finding difficulty is a language disorder whereby an individual knows the word he wants to use but is sporadically unable to retrieve it. It corresponds to a pathological increase of having a word on the "tip of the tongue" because it occurs quite frequently and for relatively common words. This type of deficit may appear in adults but also in children. Even though the notion of word-finding disorder is well established for adults, it is less acknowledged for children. This paper presents the characteristics of word-finding disorders and discusses the hypotheses on the origin of this disorder in children, taken into account actual findings on lexical access in adults and also specificities about lexical development.
