Lexically Restricted Utterances in Russian, German, and English Child-Directed Speech
This study investigates the child-directed speech (CDS) of four Russian-, six German, and six English-speaking mothers to their 2-year-old children.

This could lead to the prediction that the lexical restrictiveness previously found in the i...

Our aim was to identify the speech parameters parents use to indicate word stress differences to their children. Therefore, mothers and their children were recorded during a period of at least one year while they performed a special playing task using word pairs that differ only in t...

We show that English has a very low segmentation ambiguity compared to Japanese and that this difference correlates with the segmentation performance in a...

In order to determine if vocalic systems are expanded in child-directed speech and if this extension varies crosslinguistically, child-directed speech (CDS) was compared to adult-directed speech (ADS) in three rhythmically different languages: French, English and J...
