Detailed explanation-1: -This form of speech is called Child-directed speech (CDS). It is also referred to as infant-directed speech (IDS) or motherese. CDS can be defined as a clear and simplified way of communicating to younger children used by adults and older children. In CDS, many of the same words used in adult conversation are used.
Detailed explanation-2: -Child directed speech is a form of speech used by adults when talking to infants or young children, involving alterations such as melodic pitch and simplified vocabulary.
Detailed explanation-3: -More exposure to child-directed speech not only provides more models for learning words but also sharpens infants’ emerging lexical processing skills, with cascading benefits for vocabulary learning.
Detailed explanation-4: -For example, a parent is more likely to respond to “there doggie” with “Yes, it’s a dog!” than “No, it’s there is a dog.” Brown spoke to a child who referred to a “fis” meaning “fish”. Brown replied using “fis” and the child corrected him again but saying “fis”.
