“Wh’s a gd reader? It’s yu, isn’t it?” This is a typical example f “parentese (父母语)”. Recent research suggests that parents speaking parentese t their babies can give their language develpment a serius bst. In the study, researchers fund that teaching parents hw t speak prper parentese enhanced their ability t cmmunicate with their babies — and even imprved the children’s lng-term language skills.
Parentese is distinct frm cnventinal baby talk, which mstly relies n silly sunds and made-up wrds. In the 1960s, scientists studying speech patterns acrss different languages nticed a unique style that adults used addressing yung children. This language was characterized by simple wrds and grammar, high pitch (音调) and a much slwer speed. The baby-directed speech was first named “mtherese” befre it was called “parentese”.
Later research shwed parentese is grammatically crrect, with real wrds and phrases, which helped babies differentiate between wrds and prcess what was being said. “We’ve knwn fr sme time that use f parentese is assciated with imprved language utcmes, but we didn’t knw why,” says Patricia K. Kuhl, the study’s senir authr. But Kuhl thinks the new research suggests why parentese helps babies learn language skills.
“We nw think parentese wrks because it's a scial attractin fr the baby brain,” she says. “Its high pitch and slwer speed are scially engaging and invite the baby t respnd.”
All 71 families in the new study had their children equipped with a special cat with an audi recrder built in. During fur separate weekends when the babies were 6, 10, 14 and 18 mnths ld, the researchers recrded all f the interactins between family members and the babies. The 48 families wh were randmly selected fr a curse in parentese learned abut ways t include mre parentese in cnversatin.
And even thugh all f the participating families used sme frm f parentese at the start f the study, the babies f parents wh received caching shwed the mst imprvements in their cnversatin skills. Beynd that, thse babies had a 100-wrd vcabulary cmpared with the cntrl grup, wh nly knew 60 wrds at 18 mnths.
12. Which aspect f the study des paragraph 1 fcus n?
A. Its aim.B. Its result.C. Its prcedure.D. Its participants.
13. What did scientists find abut parentese in the 1960s?
A. It was easy t fllw.B. It was unique t mthers.
C. It was full f made-up wrds.D. It was similar t traditinal baby talk.
14. What des Kuhl say abut parentese?
A. It teaches babies mre scial skills.B. It inspires babies t speak mre.
C. It has shrt-term effects n babies.D. It helps babies differentiate wrds and phrases.
15. Which f the fllwing describes the 48 families?
A. The parents knew mre parentese skills.
B. Their babies grasped 60 wrds at 18 mnths.
C. The parents failed t use parentese thrugh the study.
