A Cross-cultural Mixed Methods Investigation of Language Socialization Practices
This embedded mixed methods study explores how cultural differences in language socialization practices influence parent-child verbal interactions. The Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) System audio recorded families of children who are and are not deaf and hard of hearing in Canada and Vietnam. Software automatically calculated an average conversational turn count. Canadian families participated in more turns than Vietnamese families regardle…
Imitation of Non-Speech Oral Gestures by 8-Month-Old Infants
This study investigates the oral gestures of 8-month-old infants in response to audiovisual presentation of lip and tongue smacks. Infants exhibited more lip gestures than tongue gestures following adult lip smacks and more tongue gestures than lip gestures following adult tongue smacks. The findings, which are consistent with predictions from Articulatory Phonology, imply that 8-month-old infants are capable of producing goal-directed oral gestu…
Variation in Instructional Discourse Features
This article examines discourse features in the instructional interactions of eight Inuit and six non‐lnuit teachers of Inuit children in northern Québec. Significant differences existed between these two groups of teachers in their use of Initiation‐Response‐Evaluation (IRE) routines, nomination format, and teacher response to student initiations. The research distinguishes cultural factors from factors related to second language teaching. Findi…

Individual personal historie…
