| Abstract(in English) | Questionnaries given to Japanese mothers revealed that the vocabulary of Japanese child-directed speech(baby words)fits into very restricted rythmic patterns of RSR or RSRS(R = regular mora, S = special mora). This study tested whether Japanese infants showed sensitivity to the typical rhythmic patterns of Japanese baby words, using the head-turn preference procedure. The results indicate that by 8 to 10 months of age, Japanese infants prefer to listen to lists of words with the dominant rhythmic patterns found in Japanese baby words, and that such preference may be affected by the type of special morae. |
