Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Research shows that children use head gestures to mark discourse focus before developing the required prosodic cues in their first language (L1), and their gestures affect the prosodic parameters of their speech.

As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

The difficulty of theology lies in engaging the ruse of having ultimate answers to ultimate questions. The stakes are high: ‘God‐talk’ must concern itself with truth, with reality.
