A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis of the acoustic features of infant-directed speech
When speaking to infants, adults often produce speech that differs systematically from that
directed to other adults. To quantify the acoustic properties of this speech style across a wide …

The acoustic features and didactic function of foreigner-directed speech: A sco** review
Purpose: This sco** review considers the acoustic features of a clear speech register
directed to nonnative listeners known as foreigner-directed speech (FDS). We identify vowel …

Dynamically adapted context-specific hyper-articulation: Feedback from interlocutors affects speakers' subsequent pronunciations
We ask whether speakers can adapt their productions when feedback from their
interlocutors suggests that previous productions were perceptually confusable. To address …

The temporal modulation structure of infant-directed speech
The temporal modulation structure of adult-directed speech (ADS) is thought to be encoded
by neuronal oscillations in the auditory cortex that fluctuate at different temporal rates …

Speech categorization develops slowly through adolescence.
B McMurray, A Danelz, H Rigler… - Developmental …, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
The development of the ability to categorize speech sounds is often viewed as occurring
primarily during infancy via perceptual learning mechanisms. However, a number of studies …

Infant-directed speech from seven to nineteen months has similar acoustic properties but different functions
This longitudinal study assessed three acoustic components of maternal infant-directed
speech (IDS)–pitch, affect, and vowel hyperarticulation–in relation to infants' age and their …

The origins of babytalk: smiling, teaching or social convergence?
When addressing their young infants, parents systematically modify their speech. Such
infant-directed speech (IDS) contains exaggerated vowel formants, which have been …
