From Babbling towards the Sound Systems of English and French: A Longitudinal Two-Case Study.

Levitt, Andrea G.; Utman, Jennifer G. Aydelott

Journal of Child Language, v19 n1 p19-49 Feb 1992

Investigates the utterances of 1 French and 1 U.S. infant at 0; 5,0; 8,0; 11, and 12 by transcribing and acoustically analyzing them for syllable duration and vowel format values. The French-learning infant tended to produce more regularly timed nonfinal syllables and showed significantly more final-syllable lengthening than the English-learning infant. (34 references) (GLR)
