Liverpool Language Lab

At the Liverpool Language Lab, we run studies for children aged 0-5 to look at how their language develops.

While many studies have shown that toddlers are able to detect syntactic regularities in speech, the learning mechanism allowing them to do this is still largely unclear. Perrine Brusini @PBrusini @LuCiD_Centre @lang05project @LivUni @livuninews discusses the plausibility of a context-based learning mechanism for the acquisition of nouns and verbs➡️https://t.co/U3zp4M5uKy #language #linguistics #psychology

We love this! Doesn't always have to be about words, and sentences. A smile is one of the first ways we learn to communicate and it goes a long way 😃

When talking to young children, many people use infant-directed speech (IDS). IDS is characterized by a higher mean pitch and greater pitch variation. This video of NZ prime minister Jacinda Ardern is a great example of the differences between IDS and adult-directed speech! 👶🏼💬

This is a great reminder to all new parents. We are always talking about your babies development but always great to check in with yourself and how you are doing #YouAreDoingaGreatJob
