  • Profile effects in early bilingual language and literacy

    Open AccessD Kimbrough Oller, Barbara Zurer Pearson et al.ARTICLEApplied Psycholinguistics2007

    Bilingual children's language and literacy is stronger in some domains than others. Reanalysis of data from a broad-scale study of monolingual English and bilingual Spanish–English learners in Miami provided a clear demonstration of “profile effects,” where bilingual children perform at varying levels compared to monolinguals across different test types. The profile effects were strong and consistent across conditions of socioeconomic status, lan…

  • Final Syllable Lengthening (FSL) in infant vocalizations

    Open AccessSuneeti Nathani, D Kimbrough Oller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2003

    Final Syllable Lengthening (FSL) has been extensively examined in infant vocalizations in order to determine whether its basis is biological or learned. Findings suggest there may be a U -shaped developmental trajectory for FSL. The present study sought to verify this pattern and to determine whether vocal maturity and deafness influence FSL. Eight normally hearing infants, aged 0;3 to 1;0, and eight deaf infants, aged 0;8 to 4;0, were examined a…

  • The temporal coordination of early infant communication

    Marygrace E Yale, Daniel M Messinger et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2003Cited by: 9References: 25

    The ability to coordinate expressive behaviors is crucial to the development of social and emotional communication. Coordination involves systematic sequencing of behaviors from two different modalities that have some temporal overlap. A bootstrapping procedure was used to determine whether preverbal 3- and 6-month-old infants sequence vocalizations, gazes at their mothers' faces, and facial expressions into pairs of coordinated patterns nonrando…

  • An event-based analysis of the coordination of early infant vocalizations and facial actions

    Marygrace E Yale, Daniel M Messinger et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1999Cited by: 4References: 2

    This study used an event-based approach to provide empirical evidence regarding the nature of coordination in 3- and 6-month-old infants. Vocalizations and facial actions of 12 normally developing infants interacting with their caregivers were coded. Coded vocalizations and facial actions were considered coordinated when they temporally overlapped. Results indicate that infants coordinated their vocalizations and facial actions more than expected…

  • Development of precursors to speech in infants exposed to two languages

    Open AccessD Kimbrough Oller, Rebecca E Eilers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1997

    The study of bilingualism has often focused on two contradictory possibilities: that the learning of two languages may produce deficits of performance in each language by comparison with performance of monolingual individuals, or on the contrary, that the learning of two languages may produce linguistic or cognitive advantages with regard to the monolingual learning experience. The work reported here addressed the possibility that the very early …

  • The imposed norm hypothesis

    H Giles, Richard Y Bourhis et al.ARTICLEQuarterly Journal of Speech1974Cited by: 11References: 10

    Previous work suggests that standard dialects assume their prestige over other language varieties not because they are linguistically or aesthetically superior, but because of historical, cultural norms. An empirical investigation lends this view support by showing that British listeners cannot differentiate evaluatively speech styles having distinct social meanings in Greece
