The Role of Production in Infant Word Learning
Studies of phonological development that combine speech-processing experiments with observation and analysis of production remain rare, although production experience is necessarily relevant to developmental advance. Here we focus on three proposals regarding the relationship of production to word learning: (1)Articulatory filter: The hypothesis that children are influenced in noticing words in input speech by their resemblance to patterns they c…
Getting started without a system
The common formulation which proposes that bilingual children enter into language production with either a single or a dual phonological system is questioned. Instead, it is suggested that implicit learning allows the child to develop considerable distributional knowledge about each of the languages to which he or she is exposed even before the first words are produced, but that explicit learning and use of particular words and phrases establishe…
More crosslinguistic evidence on fillers in the late single-word period
Peters' Note highlights the tight interconnection between phonological advances and the child's discovery of morphosyntactic structure. Taking a constructivist view, or assuming no advance knowledge of what linguistic principles or parameters may be expected, investigators like Peters & Menn (1993) or Veneziano & Sinclair (in press) come to the conclusion that children must begin with the surface regularities of language, only gradually familiari…
Cross-linguistic studies of early grammar
The transition to grammar in a bilingual child
Recent work on the transition into grammar in children acquiring English has pointed up the role of rote-learned "positional patterns," arguing that both nativist approaches based on Universal Grammar and constructivist approaches assuming semantic underpinnings are unnecessary or inadequate to account for the data. A close analysis of the first four months of word combinations recorded for an Estonian-English learning child suggests that meaning…
A Developmental Perspective on Codeswitching
This study addresses the broader question of social motivation for codeswitching (CS) as well as the more narrowly linguistic question of structural constraints, based on six recordings of conversations between a pair of bilingual siblings over a period of four years (ages 2;8 to 6;7 and 5;11 to 9;10). Unmarked CS, emblematic of the children's dual identity as members of an Estonian family and an English-speaking community, is found to characteri…
When is a word a word
Although adult-based words co-occur in the period of transition to speech with a variety of non-word vocalizations, little attention has been given to the formidable problem of identifying these earliest words. This paper specifies explicit, maximally ‘inclusive’ identification procedures, with criteria based on both phonetic and contextual parameters. A formal system for evaluating phonetic match is suggested, as well as a set of child-derived f…
External sources of individual differences? A cross-linguistic analysis of the phonetics of mothers' speech to 1-yr-old children
Wide individual differences in early word production characterize children learning the same language, but the role of specific adult input in this interchild variability is unknown. Sampling the speech of American, French, and Swedish mothers (5 in each language group) to their 1-year-old children, this study analyzed the distribution of consonantal categories, word length, and final consonants in running speech, content words, initial consonant…

Variable paths to early word production
Adaptation to language
Differences among languages offer a way of studying the process of infant adaptation from broad initial capacities to language-specific phonetic production. We designed analyses of the distribution of consonantal place and manner categories in French, English, Japanese, and Swedish to determine (1) whether systematic differences can be found in the babbling and first words of infants from different language backgrounds, and, if so, (2) whether th…

Language differentiation by the bilingual infant
This paper traces the process involved in the bilingual infant's gradual differentiation of his two languages, beginning with the acquisition of a dual lexicon. Word combination is at first based indiscriminately on this dual language source; function words account for a disproportionately large number of tokens used in mixed-language utterances. Universal principles of child syntax are at first applied; later, rules specific to each of the langu…

From Babbling to Speech
Controversy exists over whether there is any connection between children's babbling and the development of the adult sound system. The classic proponent of the discontinuity school is Jakobson 1941/1968, who claimed that the pairing of sound and meaning drastically alters the child's sound system. Jakobson's arguments for discontinuity are here evaluated on the basis of data on the transition from babbling to speech in a single set of children re…

Phonology and the development of the lexicon
Various kinds of children's lexical errors, mostly based on similarity in sound, are presented and classified. At the earliest stage some children are found to pursue a HOMONYM STRATEGY, actively seeking to combine adult word-patterns to limit their output repertoire. The associations between words underlying these productive homonyms, together with perception-based errors, blends, and other word-substitutions, are compared with malapropisms from…
