Resource summary
Child- directed speech (CDS)
Academic term for lang used by adults / caregivers when addressing children
Phonology
Separate phrases more distinctly (longer pauses)
Speak more s-l-o-w-l-y
Exaggerated 'singsong' intonation
Exaggerated diff between Q, statements & commands
Higher & wider range of pitch
Lexis & semantics
Use of concrete nouns (e.g. train, cat) & dynamic verbs (e.g. give, put)
Adopt child's own words for things (e.g. wickle babbit)
Frequent use of child's name & absence of pronouns
Grammar
Repeated sentence frames = 'That's a...'
More simple sentences
Fewer complex sentences & passives
Omission of past tense & inflections
More command, Qs & tag Qs = keep convo flowing
Use of EXPANSIONS
Where the adult 'fills out' the child's utterance
Use of RECASTING
Where child's vocab put into a new utterance
Pragmatics
Lots of gestures & body lang
Stopping frequently for child to respond
Supportive lang
Clarke - Stewart 1973
Children whose mothers talk to them more have larger vocab
Nelson 1973
Holophrastic stage
Children whose mothers corrected them on word choice & pronunciation actually advanced more SLOWLY than those w/ mothers who were gen accepting
Kuhl 1992
Studied exaggerated vowel sounds used by parents when speaking to 6 month olds (in Eng, Swedish, & Russian)
Babies turn towards adults who speak in sing - song voice, ignoring regular convo
Mothers in all 3 countries exaggerated important vowels
IMPORTANT
NOT ALL CULTURES USE CHILD - DIRECTED SPEECH
In some (non - western) cultures babies are expected to 'blend in' w/ adult interaction & no special accommodation is made
These children STILL go through some developmental stages at roughly some time, as long as there is EXPOSURE to lang
