Phonetic Variation in Multisyllable Babbling.

Mitchell, Pamela R.; Kent, Raymond D.

Journal of Child Language, v17 n2 p247-65 Jun 1990

Examines phonetic variation in multisyllable babbling of infants from 7 to 11 months of age. The investigation was to verify assumptions that, in infant vocal development, there is a systematic increase in the phonetic variation of these babbles, and separate stages of repetitive and nonrepetitive babbling are posited.
