Analysis of joint picture-book reading revealed that this activity had very early on the structure of a dialogue. The child's lexical labels might be regarded as more adult-like substit... ...

Wordbank: an open repository for developmental vocabulary dataAbstract The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) are a widely used family of parent-report instruments for easy and inexpensive data-gathering about early language acquisition. CDI data have been used to explore a variety of theoretically important topics, but, with few exceptions, researchers have had to rely on data collected in their own ... ...

Encouraging narratives in preschoolers: an intervention studyTwenty economically disadvantaged preschoolers (mean age 3;7) were
randomly assigned to an intervention or a control group, and their
mothers' styles of eliciting narratives from their children were assessed
before and after intervention. Mothers of intervention children were
encouraged to spend more time in narrative conversation, ask more
open-ended and context-eliciting questions... ...

Subject realization and crosslinguistic interference in the bilingual acquisition of Spanish and English: what is the role of the input?This study investigated whether crosslinguistic interference occurs in the domain of subject realization in Spanish in a bilingual acquisition context. We were also interested in exploring whether the source of the interference is due to child-internal crosslanguage contact between English and Spanish, as is commonly assumed, or due to the nature of the language input in a bilingual family... ...

Conversations between this child and his mother around picture-book reading were recorded and recurrent discussions of the same picture were analysed. A coding scheme was devised which identified each speak... ...

Turn taking affects the quality of infant vocalizationsABSTRACT Two groups of 20 infants aged 0; 3 experienced either conversational turn taking or random responsiveness of an adult. All infant vocalizations were counted and then each was categorized as a speech-like (syllabic) sound or a nonspeech-like (vocalic) sound. The results of this experiment indicated that turn taking caused changes in the quality of infant voc... ...

The measurement of whole-word productionsAttempts to measure phonological acquisition have largely focused on segments, with less effort made to examine whole-word productions. This article proposes four measures designed to estimate a child's whole-word abilities: 1. the PHONOLOGICAL MEAN LENGTH OF UTTERANCE , a measure of whole-word complexity for both child and target words, 2. the PROPORTION OF WHOL... ...

Prosodically-conditioned variability in children's production of French determinersABSTRACT Researchers have long noted that children's grammatical morphemes are variably produced, raising questions about when and how grammatical competence is acquired. This study examined the spontaneous production of determiners by two French-speaking children aged 1 ; 5–2 ; 5. It found that determiners were produced earlier with monosyllabic words, and later wi... ...

Cohesion and anaphora in children's narratives: a comparison of English, French, German, and Mandarin ChineseThe aim of this study is to determine universal vs. language-specific
aspects of children's ability to organize cohesive anaphoric relations in
discourse. Analyses examine narratives produced on the basis of two
picture sequences by subjects of four ages (preschoolers, seven-year-olds, ten-year-olds, adults) in four languages: English (n = 80), German
