  • Impact of Bilingualism on Infants' Ability to Learn From Talking and Nontalking Faces

    Open AccessMargherita Fort, Alba Ayneto‐gimeno et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2018Cited by: 1References: 67

    To probably overcome the challenge of learning two languages at the same time, infants raised in a bilingual environment pay more attention to the mouth of talking faces than same-age monolinguals. Here we examined the consequences of such preference for monolingual and bilingual infants' ability to perceive nonspeech information coming from the eyes or the mouth region of talking faces. Using a learning procedure, we recorded 15-month-olds' and …

  • First and Second Language Speech Perception

    Open AccessNúria Sebastián‐gallé, Núria Sebastián‐Gallés et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2012Cited by: 7References: 43

    In the process of language learning, individuals must acquire different types of linguistic knowledge, such as the sounds of the language (phonemes), how these may be combined to form words (phonotactics), and morphological rules. Early and late bilinguals tend to perform like natives on second language phonological tasks that involve pre-lexical processes (e.g., categorization or identification of isolate phonemes) but their performance decrease…

  • Language‐specific stress perception by 9‐month‐old French and Spanish infants

    Open AccessKatrin Skoruppa, Francoise Pons et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Science2009

    During the first year of life, infants begin to have difficulties perceiving non-native vowel and consonant contrasts, thus adapting their perception to the phonetic categories of the target language. In this paper, we examine the perception of a non-segmental feature, i.e. stress. Previous research with adults has shown that speakers of French (a language with fixed stress) have great difficulties in perceiving stress contrasts (Dupoux, Pallier,…

  • Perception of Prosodic Boundary Correlates by Newborn Infants

    Open AccessAnne Christophe, Anne‐caroline Fiévet et al.ARTICLEInfancy2001

    French newborn infants were shown to perceive acoustic correlates of phonological phrase boundaries in Spanish, with stress‐controlled stimuli. Access to phonological phrase boundaries may facilitate the acquisition of a lexicon, as well as some aspects of phonology and even syntax

  • Evidence of Early Language Discrimination Abilities in Infants From Bilingual Environments

    Open AccessLaura Bosch, Núria Sebastián‐gallé et al.ARTICLEInfancy2001

    Previous research data indicate that soon after birth, infants from monolingual families can discriminate utterances drawn from languages that differ prosodically, but discrimination between rhythmically similar languages, such as English and Dutch, has not yet been established by 2 months of age. In the case of bilinguals, the question of how early they can distinguish between the languages of exposure remains unanswered. The goal of this study …
