Baby talk description |
---|
Baby talk is a type of speech associated with an older person speaking to a child. It is also called caretaker speech, infant-directed speech (IDS), child-directed speech (CDS) or motherese.Baby talk has a "cooing" pattern of intonation different from that of normal adult speech: high in pitch, with many glissando variations that are more pronounced than those of normal speech. It can display hyperarticulation (the increase in time between peripheral vowels such as [i], [u], and [a]) and the shortening and simplifying of words, and is similar to speech employed when people speak to their pets (pet-directed speech). When adults speak to each other using baby talk, it is may either express affection by emulating the fondness shown by adults for children, or be a form of condescension. |
