Investigating the Relationship Between Early Speech Milestones and Oral–Motor Development in Infants

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to determine whether infants' oromotor skills were related to the onset of babbling and their phonetic inventory at 6 months of age. Methods Parents of 50 6‐month‐old infants (41 full‐term, 9 preterm) completed the Child Oral and Motor Proficiency Scale (ChOMPS), a valid and reliable caregiver‐report measure of oromotor ...

Grammar Searches for Wh‐Questions in Beginning‐Level Child Second Language Learners

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is important for learners to be able to ask wh‐questions in interaction. However, making wh‐questions can be difficult for beginning‐level EFL leaners, particularly for those learners whose L1 and L2 differ in the way wh‐questions are formed.

Acoustic Characteristics of Arabic Pharyngeal and Pharyngealized Consonants

Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1981
Spectrographic data were examined in order to find an acoustic correlate for the classification of "emphatic" in traditional Arabic phonology. It was found that an emphatic consonant affects the steady state and transition of a preceding or following ...
