First published in 1977, this book draws together various
contributions on the area of speech used by parents with their
children. Numerous perspectives on the topic include the comparison
of baby talk with other simplified registers by linguists, the
analysis of cross-cultural differences in mother and child
interaction by anthropologists, and the relation of language
development to differences in styles of childcare and the child's
social environment in general by psychologists. The text had its
origins in a conference sponsored by the Sociolinguistics Committee
of the Social Science Research Council. It will be of value to
anyone with an interest in language acquisition and development.
