“…This finding is also corroborated by other studies that have a purpose to analyse the interference of Balinese Phonological in English Pronunciation by Denpasar people who work in the hospitality field (Yanti, 2022). The results of this study show a number of forms of interference such in the phoneme, such as: There are two factors that cause language interference, namely linguistic factors (phonemes) and non-linguistic factors (society and work pressure) (Fillmore, 1989;Parlato-Oliveira et al, 2020;Tjendani et al, 2019). This situation also occurs not only in Balinese society, but also in other tribal communities.…”

There is phenomenon occured in Bali, where the people use Balinese as the first language and Indonesian & English became the second language. This study aimed to analyze the phonological interference of the Balinese dialect on English. This research had a type of qualitative research. The research methods and techniques consist of methods and techniques for providing data, data analysis methods, and data presentation methods and techniques. The data collection of this research was done by asking native speakers of Tejakula village to read some English words and the researcher recorded them. The text used by researcher was randomly and without prior notice, so that native speakers had no preparation to study it first. The method used to analyze data was the articulatory phonetic equivalent method. While the methods used to deliver the results of this study were formal and informal methods. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the phonological interference of the Balinese dialect to English. The interference was heard clearly in the hissing sound. As well as other interference that occurs in the sound /æ/ in the middle, /th/, /ʃ/, and the sound ending in sound /o/.

“…Indeed, we found a strong and significant correlation between expert and automatic classification on e-FDS recognition (ρ = 0.87 p < 0.01) and a good and very significant ICC between expert and algorithm [ICC = 0.79 (95% CI: 0.59-0.90), p < 0.001]. This methodology of motherese detection using an algorithm has already shown robustness, as we have been able to distinguish motherese in early interaction with children with pathological outcome (Cohen et al, 2013), with both mothers and fathers (Weisman et al, 2016), and in five different languages (Parlato et al, 2020). Here, automatic annotation was useful to confirm that the prosody used during FDS shared the same characteristics of motherese.…”

“…It can distinguish emotional sequences of motherese from normal speech (Mahdhaoui et al, 2011). In previous studies, it was able to identify motherese during early interaction in both experimental (Weisman et al, 2016;Bourvis et al, 2018) and natural settings (Cohen et al, 2013), in both mothers and fathers (Cohen et al, 2013;Weisman et al, 2016;Parlato et al, 2020), in various languages (Parlato et al, 2020), and in parents speaking to infants with later psychopathology (e.g., autism, Cohen et al, 2013).…”

“Motherese” Prosody in Fetal-Directed Speech: An Exploratory Study Using Automatic Social Signal Processing

Introduction: Motherese, or emotional infant directed speech (IDS), is the specific form of speech used by parents to address their infants. The prosody of IDS has affective properties, expresses caregiver involvement, is a marker of caregiver-infant interaction quality. IDS prosodic characteristics can be detected with automatic analysis. We aimed to explore whether pregnant women “speak” to their unborn baby, whether they use motherese while speaking and whether anxio-depressive or obstetrical status impacts speaking to the fetus.Participants and Methods: We conducted an observational study of pregnant women with gestational ages from 26 to 38 weeks. Women were recruited in a university hospital department of obstetrics. Thirty-five women agreed to participate in the study, and 26 audio records were exploitable. We collected obstetrical and sociodemographic data, pregnancy outcomes, anxiety and depressive status using the Covy and Raskin Scales, and life events using the Sensations During Pregnancy and Life Event Questionnaire. Each participant was left alone with an audio recorder with a recommendation to feel free to speak to her fetus as she would have done at home. The recording was stopped after 3 min. Audio recordings were analyzed by two methods: psycholinguist experts' annotation and computational objective automatic analyses.Results: Most mothers (89%) reported speaking to their fetuses. We found a correlation between maternal first perceptions of fetal movements and the start of mother's speaking to fetus. Motherese prosody was detected with both annotation and automatic analysis with a significant correlation between the two methods. In this exploratory study, motherese use was not associated with maternal anxiodepressive or obstetrical status. However, the more future mothers were depressed, the less they spoke with their fetuses during the recording.Conclusion: Fetal directed speech (FDS) can be detected during pregnancy, and it contains a period of prosody that shares the same characteristics of motherese that can be described as prenatal motherese or emotional fetal-directed speech (e-FDS). This means that pregnant women start using motherese much earlier than expected. FDS seems to be correlated with maternal first perceptions of fetal movements and depression scores. However, more research is needed to confirm these exploratory results.

“…The assessment of mother–child interactions is an important issue in perinatal psychopathology because of its emotional and cognitive impact on child development ( American Psychiatric Association, 2000 ; Viaux-Savelon et al, 2013 ; Binda et al, 2019 ; Parlato-Oliveira et al, 2020 ). Thus, the child will do his/her first acquisitions which are strongly influenced by the gestational period, parental bonding and the family environment.…”

IntroductionMother–child interactions during the first years of life have a significant impact on the emotional and cognitive development of the child. In this work, we study how a prenatal diagnosis of malformation may affect maternal representations and the quality of these early interactions. To this end, we conducted a longitudinal observational study of mother–child interactions from the gestational stage until the baby completed 12 months of age.Participants and MethodsWe recruited 250 pregnant women from a local university hospital. Among them, 50 mother–infant dyads participated in all stages of the study. The study group consisted of 25 pregnant women with fetuses with some structural alteration and the control group consisted of 25 pregnant women with fetuses without structural anomalies. We collected obstetric and socio demographic data and pregnancy outcomes. Anxiety and depressive state data were collected using the COVI and Raskin Scales. We video-recorded the mother–infant interactions during several stages, including when the child was a newborn and when the child was 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of age. The quality of the mother infant interactions were measured using the Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB). The interactive moments recorded on video was composed of three different activities, each one lasting appoximately 3 min, which included (1) Free Interaction, where the mother was instructed to interact “as usual” without any toy, (2) Toy Interaction, where the mother and baby played with a puppv, and (3) Song Interaction, where the mother and baby interacted while the mother sang the “Happy Birthday” song.ResultsIn the gestational phase, there was a significant difference between the groups with respect to anxiety and depression scores, which were significantly higher for the study group. In the postnatal phase, we found significant differences between the groups with respect to CIB scales after the child completed 6 months of age: the study group presented significantly higher values of Maternal Sensitivity at 6 months of age, of Baby Involvement at 9 and 12 months of age, and of Dyadic Reciprocity at 6, 9, and 12 months of age, while the control group presented significantly higher values of Withdrawal of the Baby at 6 months of age, and of Dyadic Negative States at 6 and 9 months of age.ConclusionThe support offered by the study favored the mother–infant bond and had a positive effect on the quality of interaction during the first year of life, despite the presence of prenatal diagnosis.
