Prosodic, Paralinguistic, and Interactional Features in Parent-Child Speech: English and Spanish

Blount, Ben G.; Padgug, Elise J.

Journal of Child Language, 4, 1, 67-86, Feb 77

Parental speech in English and Spanish was analyzed for presence and distribution of these features. Differences were noted, yet there was a high degree of similarity across parents and languages for frequently occuring features. (CHK)
