New paper out! Following from our work on vowels and prosody in infant-directed speech, we turned our attention to features of consonants and their role in language development. Great collab (as always!) w/ @julienmayor.bsky.social, Nina Varjola and Natalia Kartushina 🧵 1/ #DevSci #langsky #devpsy
Longitudinal changes in consonant production in infant-directed speech and infants’ early speech production from 6 to 12 months
Previous research suggests that acoustic features of infant-directed speech (IDS) might be beneficial for infants’ language development. However, cons…
