Speech perception and language acquisition in the first year of life.
@article{Gervain2010SpeechPA, title={Speech perception and language acquisition in the first year of life.}, author={Judit Gervain and Jacques Mehler}, journal={Annual review of psychology}, year={2010}, volume={61}, pages={ 191-218 } }
During the first year of life, infants pass important milestones in language development. We review some of the experimental evidence concerning these milestones in the domains of speech perception, phonological development, word learning, morphosyntactic acquisition, and bilingualism, emphasizing their interactions. We discuss them in the context of their biological underpinnings, introducing the most recent advances not only in language development, but also in neighboring areas such as…

Infants begin life ready to learn any of the world’s languages, but they quickly become speech-perception experts in their native language. Although this phenomenon has been well described, the…

The infant-controlled version of the habituation procedure was used to assess discrimination in 6- to 7-month and 11- to 12-month-old infants who varied in their amount of exposure to Basque and Spanish, and observed no significant variation in the infants' discrimination behavior as a function of their linguistic experience.

The research identifies the operation of linguistic and conceptual processes in early life, processes that may intersect with the experiential and emotional processes with which psychoanalysis is already concerned and raises questions about the view that the nature of infancy is essentially nonverbal.

Developmental neuroscience studies using language are beginning to answer questions about the origins of humans' language faculty, and individual continuity in linguistic development from infants' earliest responses to phonemes is reflected in infants' language abilities in the second and third year of life.

It is argued that infants have access at the beginning of life to phonemic representations, which are modified without training or implicit instruction, but by the statistical distributions of speech input in order to converge to the native phonemic categories.

Words guide the infant to his or her first syntactic intuitions, aid in the development of the lexicon, and, it is proposed, may help infants learn phonetic categories.
