Connectivity in narratives and its ontogenetic development have been shown in previous research to be characterized by both cross-linguistic similarities and differences. While the similarities have been attributed to universal cognitive constraints, typological differences across languages have been seen as one critical determinant of the differences. The amount and type of connectivity in elicited narratives from 4, 7 and 10 year old children as well as adults with Greek as a native language are compared with similar evidence from French and in the case of adults with Polish as well. While narrative length is similar in childhood cross-linguistically, it strikingly increases in French adults but not at all in Greek, which shows similarity with Polish. In both Greek and French use of connectors rises during childhood but notably decreases in adults, with temporal connectivity established earlier than logical one. Overall, however, French speakers employ more connectors than Greek ones. Adults in particular predominantly connect narrative events logically in French, while temporal and logical connectors are equally used in Greek and Polish. Preliminary hypotheses are made as to the grammatical constraints, which might explain the cross-linguistic differences in narrative length as well as in amount and type of connectivity.
