Babbling of Twins in a Bilingual Environment.

Zlatic, Larisa; Macneilage, Peter; Matyear, Christine L.; Davis, Barbara L.

Applied Psycholinguistics, v18 n4 p453-69 Dec 1997

Examines the phonetic characteristics of babbling by a pair of fraternal twins raised in a bilingual environment (English/Serbian). The study focused on the basic articulatory form of babbling, the impact of twinship on babbling patterns, and whether effects specific to one or another of the ambient languages could be observed.
