good night [May. 13th, 2009|12:17 am]
Вот так. Оказывается, дети, с которыми разговаривают сюсюкающим тоном [motherese], быстрее учатся понимать синтаксис языка.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2925815
The finding is that, for motherese only, infants orient longer to speech that has been interrupted at clausal boundaries than to matched speech that has been interrupted at within-clause locations. This selective preference indicates that the prosodic qualities of motherese provide infants with cues to units of speech that correspond to grammatical units of language-a potentially fundamental contribution of motherese to the learning of syntax.

寝勝手や夜はさまざまの梅の花
ne katte ya yo wa sama-zama no ume [no] hana

while I slept--
night unfurled all kinds
of plum blossoms


translated by David Lanoue

пока я спал -
ночь распахнула сонм
цветущих слив
