Prosodically-conditioned variability in children's production of French determiners
Journal of Child Language - Tập 35 Số 1 - Trang 99-127 - 2008
Katherine Demuth, Annie Tremblay
ABSTRACTResearchers 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...... hiện toàn bộ
Phonological neighbourhoods in the developing lexicon
Journal of Child Language - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 441-469 - 2003
Jeffry A. Coady, Richard Ν. Aslin
Structural analyses of developing lexicons have provided evidence for both children's holistic lexical representations and sensitivity to phonetic segments. In the present investigation, neighbourhood analyses of two children's (age 3;6) expressive lexicons, maternal input, and an adult lexicon were conducted. In addition to raw counts and frequency-weighted counts, neighbourhood size was ...... hiện toàn bộ
The unintelligibility of speech to children
Journal of Child Language - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 265-292 - 1983
Ellen Gurman Bard, Anne H. Anderson
ABSTRACTWords artificially isolated from twelve parents' speech to their children (aged 1; 10–3; 0) were significantly less intelligible to adult listeners than words originally spoken to an adult. This effect holds for randomly sampled words and, to a lesser extent, for matched pairs. While parents did not adjust the clarity of word tokens to the linguistic naivet...... hiện toàn bộ
Children's resistance to homonymy: an experimental study of pseudohomonyms
Journal of Child Language - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 319-343 - 2005
Devin M. Casenhiser
Research in diachronic linguistics has shown that homonyms are often dispreferred in language. This study proposes that this trend is mirrored in the difficulties that children encounter in mapping homonyms. Two experiments are presented in support of this proposition. In Experiment 1, 16 preschool children (mean age=4;6) are shown to perform quite well on tasks requiring them to assign no...... hiện toàn bộ
Turn taking affects the quality of infant vocalizations
Journal of Child Language - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 211-227 - 1987
Kathleen Bloom, Ann Russell, Karen Wassenberg
ABSTRACTTwo 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...... hiện toàn bộ
Going, going, gone: the acquisition of the verb ‘go’
Journal of Child Language - Tập 29 Số 4 - Trang 783-811 - 2002
Anna Theakston, Elena Lieven, Julián M. Pine, Caroline F. Rowland
This study investigated different accounts of early argument structure acquisition and verb paradigm building through the detailed examination of the acquisition of the verb Go. Data from 11 children followed longitudinally between the ages of 2;0 and 3;0 were examined. Children's uses of the different forms of Go were compared with res...... hiện toàn bộ
Wordbank: an open repository for developmental vocabulary data
Journal of Child Language - Tập 44 Số 3 - Trang 677-694 - 2017
Michael C. Frank, Mika Braginsky, Daniel Yurovsky, Virginia A. Marchman
AbstractThe 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 ...... hiện toàn bộ
Learnability and linguistic performance
Journal of Child Language - Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 431-457 - 2004
Kenneth F. Drozd
Crain, S. & Thornton, R. Investigations in Universal Grammar. Cambridge: MIT, 1998.Stephen Crain (C) & Rosalind Thornton (T) have garnered a well-deserved reputation for their unwavering commitment to language learnability as a constraint not only on theories of child language and language development but also on experimental design and t...... hiện toàn bộ
Clarity of purpose in L1 acquisition research: a response to Ken Drozd's Learnability and linguistic performance
Journal of Child Language - Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 496-499 - 2004
William Philip
Complementing Bart Geurts' (2000) review of the same book, Ken Drozd's Learnability and linguistic performance points out several serious problems with the L1 acquisition research programme of Crain & Thornton (1998). Drozd's objections are so clearly stated that there is little I can add. Nonetheless, I will attempt to flesh out some of his more general poin...... hiện toàn bộ
Joint picture-book reading correlates of early oral language skill
Journal of Child Language - Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 455-461 - 1993
Barbara D. DeBaryshe
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to explore the relation between joint picture-book-reading experiences provided in the home and children's early oral language skills. Subjects were 41 two-year-old children and their mothers. Measures included maternal report of the age at which she began to read to the child, the frequency of home reading sessions, the number...... hiện toàn bộ
