Performative Acts Defined by Synchrony among Intonational, Verbal, and Nonverbal Systems in a One and One-Half Year Old Child.

Duchan, Judith; And Others

Sign Language Studies, n22 p75-88 Spr 1979

An analysis was made of the correspondence between intonation and the larger and smaller movements accompanying two-syllable and longer utterances. Synchrony between peaks of intonation and movement pattern was found and is used to argue for a performative basis for early two-word productions. (Author/EJS)
