| Abstract(in English) | Infants cannot acquire language without hearing the speech that mothers and other adults produce around them. The speech input from which infants learn language is called "motherese" or "Infant-Directed Speech" (IDS). It has been well documented that IDS has a number of characteristics that are clearly distinct from adults' speech when they talk to other adults ("Adult-Directed Speech" (ADS)). In order to investigate language acquisition, it is necessary to understand the nature of IDS. In this talk, we will introduce the RIKEN Japanese Mother-Infant Conversation Corpus, which contains 22 mothers' conversations with their 17-24 month old children as well as with adults. This speech database consists of approximately 14 hours speech signals along with the various annotations (transcriptional texts and segmental, morphological and prosodic information), all of which are linked to each other in a searchable way. For purposes of illustration, we will present a comparison of speech rates between IDS and ADS. |
