Pedro Mateo Pedro – First Language, 2024
This article evaluates the acquisition of directionals in Q'anjob'al, a Western Mayan language of Guatemala. The data come from a longitudinal study of two Q'anjob'al monolingual children of Santa Eulalia, Huehuetenango, Guatemala: Xhuw (1;9-2;5) and Xhim (2;3-3;5). The results show how these children acquire the morphological distribution of…

Anna Volodina; Simone Lehrl; Sabine Weinert – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2024
Using data from a longitudinal German large-scale study and structural equation modeling, this study investigated the effects of different dimensions of the early home learning environment (HLE) as well as the effect of language-related preschool quality at the age of 3 to 5 years on students' later school-relevant language proficiency (as…

Kaveri K. Sheth; Naja Ferjan Ramírez – Language Learning and Development, 2025
Research on "parentese," the acoustically exaggerated, slower, and higher-pitched speech directed toward infants, has mostly focused on maternal contributions, although it has long been known that fathers also produce parentese. Given recent societal changes in family dynamics, it is necessary to revise these mother-centered models of…

Ozturk, Sumeyra; Pinar, Ebru; Ketrez, F. Nihan; Özcaliskan, Seyda – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Children's early vocabulary shows sex differences -- with boys having smaller vocabularies than age-comparable girls -- a pattern that becomes evident in both singletons and twins. Twins also use fewer words than their singleton peers. However, we know relatively less about sex differences in early gesturing in singletons or twins, and also how…

Snyder, William – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Three case-studies, using longitudinal records of children's spontaneous speech, illustrate what happens when a child's syntax changes. The first, examining acquisition of English verb-particle constructions, shows a near-total absence of commission errors. The second, examining acquisition of prepositional questions in English or Spanish, shows…

Casillas, Marisa; Brown, Penelope; Levinson, Stephen C. – Journal of Child Language, 2021
The rate at which young children are directly spoken to varies due to many factors, including (a) caregiver ideas about children as conversational partners and (b) the organization of everyday life. Prior work suggests cross-cultural variation in rates of child-directed speech is due to the former factor, but has been fraught with confounds in…

Smith, Jodie; Sulek, Rhylee; Van Der Wert, Kailia; Cincotta-Lee, Olivia; Green, Cherie C.; Bent, Catherine A.; Chetcuti, Lacey; Hudry, Kristelle – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Both the amount "and" responsiveness of adult language input contribute to the language development of autistic and non-autistic children. From parent-child interaction footage, we measured the amount of adult language input, overall parent responsiveness, and six discrete parent responsive behaviours ("imitations, expansions,…

David Ben Shannon; Abigail Hackett – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2024
In this article, the authors argue for what Édouard Glissant terms the 'right to opacity' in teaching and assessing communication and language skills in early childhood education (ECE). We draw from Glissant's writing on Relation, and his interrelated concepts of 'opacity' and 'transparency', to consider two vignettes from sensory ethnographic…

Johanne Belmon; Magali Noyer-Martin; Sandra Jhean-Larose – First Language, 2024
The relationship between emotion and language in children is an emerging field of research. To carry out this type of study, researchers need to precisely manipulate the emotional parameters of the words in their experimental material. However, the number of affective norms for words in this population is still limited. To fill this gap, the…

Kelsey L. West; Sarah E. Steward; Emily Roemer Britsch; Jana M. Iverson – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
New motor skills can shape how infants communicate with their caregivers. For example, learning to walk allows infants to move faster and farther than they previously could, in turn allowing them to approach their caregivers more frequently to gesture or vocalize. Does the link between walking and communication differ for infants later diagnosed…

Katrin D. Bartl-Pokorny; Florian B. Pokorny; Dunia Garrido; Björn W. Schuller; Dajie Zhang; Peter B. Marschik – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2022
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare, late detected developmental disorder associated with severe deficits in the speech-language domain. Despite a few reports about atypicalities in the speech-language development of infants and toddlers with RTT, a detailed analysis of the pre-linguistic vocalisation repertoire of infants with RTT is yet missing. Based…

Anniek van Doornik; Marlies Welbie; Sharynne McLeod; Ellen Gerrits; Hayo Terband – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Children with speech sound disorders (SSD) are at higher risk of communication breakdown, but the impact of having an SSD may vary from child to child. Determining the severity of SSD helps speech-language therapists (SLTs) to recognise the extent of the problem and to identify and prioritise children who require intervention. Aims:…

Jourdain, Morgane; Lahousse, Karen – Journal of Child Language, 2021
The aim of the present research is to investigate the development of left and right dislocation in child French through a corpus study of three children until age 2;7 from the corpus of Lyon (Demuth & Tremblay, 2008). We extracted a total of 704 dislocations and analysed their syntactic properties. We show that (i) right dislocations are more…

Cychosz, Margaret; Munson, Benjamin; Edwards, Jan R. – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Much research in child speech development suggests that young children coarticulate more than adults. There are multiple, not mutually-exclusive, explanations for this pattern. For example, children may coarticulate more because they are limited by immature motor control. Or they may coarticulate more if they initially represent phonological…
