DOI: 10.1002/dev.22265
Abstract: Social interactions are essential for infant brain development, yet we know little about how infant functional connectivity differs between social and nonsocial contexts, or how sensitivity to differences between contexts might be related to early… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10936-022-09872-w
Abstract: Distribution information plays an important role in word categorization. In this paper, we present a novel distributional model, distributional lattices to discover syntactic categories in child directed speech. A distributional lattice is a hierarchy formed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2019.02.008
Abstract: Prosody, or the intonation contours of speech, conveys emotion and intention to the listener and provides infants with an early basis for detecting meaning in speech. Infant-directed speech (IDS) is characterized by exaggerated prosody, slower… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neures.2017.10.008
Abstract: The aim of the present work was a cross-linguistic generalization of Inoue et al.'s (2011) algorithm for discriminating infant- (IDS) vs. adult-directed speech (ADS). IDS is the way in which mothers communicate with infants; it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0305000917000447
Abstract: Abstract The positive effects of shared book reading on vocabulary and reading development are well attested (e.g., Bus, van Ijzendoorn, & Pellegrini, 1995). However, the role of shared book reading in grammatical development remains unclear.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0305000919000175
Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the links between prosodic features of paternal Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) and child characteristics. Pitch variability measures were extracted from the speech samples of 50 fathers during unstructured… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0305000919000205
Abstract: Abstract Research on sources of individual difference in parental Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) is limited and there is a particular lack of research on fathers’ compared to mothers’ speech. This study examined the predictive relations between… read more here.

Infant-directed speech as a simplified but not simple register: a longitudinal study of lexical and syntactic features

DOI: 10.1017/s0305000919000643
Abstract: Abstract Infant-directed speech (IDS) is a specific register that adults use to address infants, and it is characterised by prosodic exaggeration and lexical and syntactic simplification. Several authors have underlined that this simplified speech becomes… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Do parents fine-tune the MLU of utterances with a particular word as the word is on the verge of appearing in the child's production? We analyzed a corpus of spontaneous interactions of 30 dyads.… read more here.
