Prelinguistic Vocalizations: Relations between Function and Pitch

نویسنده

  • María FERNÁNDEZ FLECHA
چکیده

La présente étude explore les relations entre les fonctions communicatives des vocalisations pré-linguistiques et deux aspects prosodiques tels que le contour final de la fréquence fondamentale ainsi que son hauteur moyenne, minimale et maximale. Les productions vocales de dix enfants, âgés de 16 à 24 mois, ont été analysées. Les résultats définitifs confirment (1) la courbe descendante est le plus commun; (2) la courbe ascendante est relativement plus fréquentes dans le cas de certaines fonctions, telles que les demandes, qui exigent une sorte de réaction de l'interlocuteur; (3) les fonctions basiques de communication peuvent être différenciées par leur hauteur moyenne, minimum et maximum, et finalement; (4) les vocalisations communicatives ne peuvent pas être différenciées de celles non communicatives par leur courbe intonative finale; et (5) il est possible de les distinguer en fonction de leur moyenne, minimale et maximale fréquence fondamentale.

The relationship between prelinguistic vocalization and later expressive vocabulary in young children with developmental delay.

This study tested the relationship between prelinguistic vocalization and expressive vocabulary 1 year later in young children with mild to moderate developmental delays. Three vocalization variables were tested: rate of all vocalization, rate of vocalizations with consonants, and rate of vocalizations used interactively. The 58 toddlers in the study were 17-34 months old, not sensory impaired,...

Prelinguistic vocalizations distinguish pointing acts.

The current study investigated whether point-accompanying characteristics, like vocalizations and hand shape, differentiate infants' underlying motives of prelinguistic pointing. We elicited imperative (requestive) and declarative (expressive and informative) pointing acts in experimentally controlled situations, and analyzed accompanying characteristics. Experiment 1 revealed that prosodic cha...

Multiscale clustering of vocalizations during naturalistic infant-caregiver interactions

We quantified the multiscale clustering in the acoustics of infant prelinguistic vocalizations, the development across the first two years of life, and the relationship between caregivers' vocalizations for fifteen infant-caregiver dyads. The multiscale structure of infant utterances, spanning from seconds to over one hour was similar to that of caregivers, providing new evidence for the multis...

Maternal Responsiveness and the Development of Directed Vocalizing in Social Interactions

For effective communication, infants must develop the phonology of sounds and the ability to use vocalizations in social interactions. Few studies have examined the development of the pragmatic use of prelinguistic vocalizations, possibly because gestures are considered hallmarks of early pragmatic skill. The current study investigated infant vocal production and maternal responsiveness to exam...

Consistent responses of human mothers to prelinguistic infants: the effect of prelinguistic repertoire size.

The salience of infants' vocal and visual cues was examined to evaluate the efficacy of prelinguistic vocalizations to guide adult behavior. A videotape, constructed of brief behavioral episodes from 3 infants with different-sized vocal repertoires, was played to 40 mothers of prelinguistic infants. Playback mothers' responses to the episodes were consistent, demonstrating that preverbal behavi...
