Maternal Pitch Height in Ordinary and Play Situations.
Reissland, Nadja; Snow, Davis
Journal of Child Language, v23 n2 p269-78 Jun 1996
In this study, maternal speech was analyzed acoustically to see whether mothers spoke with the same simplitude in both real and play situations. Results showed that mothers use both pitch height and pitch range to introduce the preverbal infant to the difference between play and nonplay situations. (Author/JL)
