Acoustic Phonetic Properties of Infant-and-Child Directed Speech*
Studies of the
acoustic properties of the speech signal directed to infants
and young children, especially how these properties may vary as a function
of characteristics of the speaker and addressee, including but not limited
to age, communication abilities, and language experience.
*Perception of Speech Directed Toward Infants and Children*
Recent research addressing how infants and children respond to and benefit
from infant-directed speech and how this is influenced by diverse factors
including, age, language experience, testing methods, and specific
properties of this speech register.
Please contact the organizers with questions.
