Why We Don't Talk "Baby Talk" to Babies.
Kaye, Kenneth
Journal of Child Language, v7 n3 p489-07 Oct 1980
The speech of 26 mothers to their infants at an early age was compared with their speech to them 2 years later. Results show that speech to infants was different from so-called "baby-talk," and that speech to them was shorter, more limited, and more repetitive than speech to language-learning children. (PJM)
