Word-order adaptation and lexical repetition in speech to young children: With focus on Korean mothers’ production of nouns

Abstract: The relative ease of children’s learning of nouns vs. verbs can be explained by the characteristics of linguistic input. In Korean, syntactic structures contain parameters adversarial for learning nouns such as the SOV word-order, in which noun appears utterance-medially, and frequent elision of noun. Nevertheless, Korean children readily learn nouns and even show a noun-bias in production. We investigate two strategies Korean mothers adopt to aid children’s noun learning: adapting the default word-order to pl… Show more

“…For example, Ko et al. (2022) report that there is a significant correlation between the ratio of word‐touch alignment and the ratio of tag‐repetition, a syntactic manipulation thought to help word learning, within the same mothers. Thus, mothers who provide cues beneficial for language learning seem to be consistent in their behavior to provide such cues in several different domains.…”

“…Though the current results do not allow us to provide evidence for a direct link between multimodal touch-speech cues with speech segmentation and word learning, analyses using the same dataset suggest that mothers who provide more frequent touches also offer additional enhancements at other linguistic levels that may be helpful for speech segmentation and word learning. For example, Ko et al (2022) report that there is a significant correlation between the ratio of word-touch alignment and the ratio of tag-repetition, a syntactic manipulation thought to help word learning, within the same mothers. Thus, mothers who provide cues beneficial for language learning seem to be consistent in their behavior to provide such cues in several different domains.…”
