  • Segmental production in Mandarin-learning infants

    Open AccessLi-Mei Chen, Raymond D KentARTICLEJournal of Child Language2010

    The early development of vocalic and consonantal production in Mandarin-learning infants was studied at the transition from babbling to producing first words. Spontaneous vocalizations were recorded for 24 infants grouped by age: G1 (0 ; 7 to 1 ; 0) and G2 (1 ; 1 to 1 ; 6). Additionally, the infant-directed speech of 24 caregivers was recorded during natural infant–adult interactions to infer language-specific effects. Data were phonetically tran…

  • Development of prosodic patterns in Mandarin-learning infants

    Open AccessLi-Mei Chen, Raymond D KentARTICLEJournal of Child Language2009

    Early prosodic development (f 0 variation) was systematically measured in Mandarin-learning infants at the transition from babbling to producing first words. Spontaneous vocalizations of twenty-four infants aged 0 ; 7 to 1 ; 6 were recorded in 45-minute sessions. The speech production of twenty-four caregivers was also audio-recorded during caregiver–infant natural daily interactions at home. All recordings were transcribed using broad prosodic p…

  • Consonant–vowel co-occurrence patterns in Mandarin-learning infants

    Open AccessLi-Mei Chen, Raymond D KentARTICLEJournal of Child Language2005

    Most studies on CV co-occurrence patterns in early phonetic development have been based on Indo-European languages. Data from infants learning Mandarin, which has a substantially different phonological system from Indo-European languages, can confirm or refute the findings of previous studies, thus shedding further light on the theoretical bases of CV association. Spontaneous vocalizations were recorded in 45-minute sessions for each of 24 Mandar…

  • Phonetic variation in multisyllable babbling

    Open AccessPamela R Mitchell, Raymond D KentARTICLEJournal of Child Language1990

    This investigation examined phonetic variation in multisyllable babbling of infants from 0;7 to 0;11. The basis of this investigation was to examine assumptions present in major models of infant vocal development which suggest systematic developmental increases in phonetic variation of these babbles, and posit separate stages of repetitive (multisyllables with non-varied phonetic elements) and non-repetitive (phonetically varied multisyllables) b…
