Journal ArticleDOI
A cross-language comparison of /d /–/ð / perception: Evidence for a new developmental pattern
TL;DR: Perceptual differentiation was unaffected by language experience in the first year of life, despite robust evidence of language effects in adulthood, which is clearly inconsistent with previous studies as well as predictions based on a conceptual framework proposed by Burnham.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of coronal stop perception: bilingual infants keep pace with their monolingual peers.
TL;DR: For highly frequent, similar phones, despite overlap in cross-linguistic distributions, bilingual infants performed on par with their English monolingual peers and better than their French monolingUAL peers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Language-experience facilitates discrimination of /d- / in monolingual and bilingual acquisition of English
TL;DR: Language experience facilitates perception of the English /d-th/ contrast and this facilitation occurs later in development when English and French are acquired simultaneously, having implications for language organization in children with simultaneous exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale, multisite study aimed at assessing the overall replicability of a single theoretically important phenomenon and examining methodological, cultural, and developmental moderators was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of Coronal Stops by Simultaneous Bilingual Adults.
TL;DR: This article investigated acoustic-phonetics of coronal stop production by adult simultaneous bilingual and monolingual speakers of Canadian English (CE) and Canadian French (CF) and found that simultaneous bilingual adults produce language-specific differences across CF and CE for voicing and place of articulation.
