Papers with early segmentation
The Distribution and Prosodic Realization of Verb Forms in German Infant-Directed Speech (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Infant-directed speech is often seen as a predictor for infants' speech processing abilities, for instance speech segmentation or word learning. |
| Approach: | They examine the syntactic distribution, accentuation and prosodic phrasing of German verb forms and show that many verb forms are prime candidates for early segmentation. |
| Outcome: | The findings suggest that infants ought to be able to extract verbs as early as nouns, given appropriate stimulus materials. |
