	Encyclopedia: Motherese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Baby talk, motherese, or child-directed speech (CDS) is a nonstandard form of speech used by adults, particularly mothers, in talking to children.
		It is usually delivered with a "cooing" pattern of inflection which is different from normal adult speech: high in pitch, and with many glissando-like rises and falls in pitch which are exaggerated by comparison with normal speech.
		The word motherese is disliked by child development professionals (and by critics of gender stereotyping) because all caregivers, not just mothers, use distinct speech patterns and vocabulary when talking to young children.

	Motherese or Infant-Directed Spe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Infant directed speech is defined as an innate musical language stimulated by the presence of their babies; it's a language that is simple in form and structure but rich in it's patterning of stress and intonations, and whose main features are the same in all cultures (Mistiaen, 1998).
		Motherese is found across various languages such as English, Russia and Swedish.
		In infant-directed speech or motherese, adults use a special speech register that is characterized by elevated fundamental frequency (pitch), exaggerated intonation contours and high affect (Burnham, Kitamura, Vollmer-Conna, 2002).

	Motherese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Typically, this sing-song speech pattern is accompanied by the adult placing their face close to the face of the baby and with the adult opening their eyes widely' with a broad smile spanning their face.
		When experimenters studied new born babies by waving different patterns in front of their faces, the infants turned their heads and looked longer if the pattern was a schematic rather than a scrambled face before them.
		Both the innate tendency towards Motherese in adults, and the infant human child's predisposition to focus on the human face, create the basis for close relations and bonds to be formed between care giver and child.

	Gale Encyclopedia of Childhood and Adolescence: Motherese or Parentese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Motherese, or parentese, is the name given to the pattern of speech used by caretakers (mothers and other adults) when talking to infants.
		Although most researchers believe that the motherese speech pattern is not essential for the infant's language acquisition, it does attract the infant's attention and get him or her to focus on spoken language.
		The researchers concluded that this feature of motherese helps to form the infant's perceptual categories for his or her native language.

	Prelinguistic evolution in early hominins: Whence motherese? - Falk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Although there is a robust literature on the vocal aspects of motherese, few workers have appreciated the important parallel roles of mother-infant interactions in visual, gestural, and tactile domains.
		Since language acquisition today is universally scaffolded onto motherese, it is argued that selection for vocal language occurred after early hominin mothers began engaging in routine affective vocalization toward their infants, a practice that characterizes modern women, but not relatively silent chimpanzee mothers.
		Motherese has provided a rich source of information for this discussion, which is appropriate since it is the only available model for elucidating how humans universally acquire spoken languages today, and therefore may have acquired them in the past.

		In contemporary middle-class American culture, parenting is seen as an awesome responsibility, an unforgiving vigil to keep the helpless infant from falling behind in the great race of life.
		The belief that Motherese is essential to language development is part of the same mentality that sends yuppies to "learning centers" to buy little mittens with bull's-eyes to help their babies find their hands sooner.
		In fact, they do not speak to their prelinguistic children at all, except for occasional demands and rebukes.

		Both sexes are susceptible to motherese, and perhaps to romantic "sweet talk." Sokol says that it has the same acoustic patterns as whining and motherese, and, at least in the best cases, it serves a similar attachment-creating function.

		Gilissen says that the special vocalizations of human motherese are in marked contrast to the relatively silent mother/infant interactions that characterize chimpanzees, yet suggests a possible link between monkey calls and motherese.
		This apparent contradiction suggests that the affective content of motherese (and protolanguage) builds upon the monkey vocalization system, but the information content of motherese (and protolanguage) has a complementary evolutionary history.
		Kotchoubey (2005) suggests that the left hemispheric subsystem develops as described by MSH to subserve the cognitive-symbolic function, whereas the right hemispheric subsystem is a direct successor of monkey vocalization mechanisms and gives language its intonational color.

		Motherese is a technique parents use to facilitate language development, but the big gun is READING to your child.
		In Motherese, the mother (dad) repeats and/or slightly expands upon what a child has just said, using, perhaps a different but related word in the process.
		This seems particularly true in the abundant mindless cartoons and sitcoms, which typically provide a meager vocabulary in comparison to books.

		The use of infant-directed speech (motherese) by the parents with their child appears to have many benefits.
		Linguistically the modifications simplify and highlight relevant linguistic components of speech (McLeod, 1993).
		Using infant-direct speech can be very encouraging for the child to learn which in turn results in a positive relationship with the parent and infant.
