   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; speech perception; phonological representation; language acquisition; early vocabulary development; lexical restructuring; Children s language; Barnspråk;

   Sammanfattning : Speech perception, articulation, and word learning are three major tiers of language development in young children, integrating perceptual and productive language abilities. Infant speech perception precedes speech production and is the basis for native language learning. LÄS MER
