I’m not much of a talker (= a person who is comfortable speaking).
Nevertheless, the acoustic-phonetic structure of some of the vowels differed across the generations represented by the talkers.
Because there is a relatively small extant literature on precocious talkers, we took the preliminary step of verifying parent-reported precocity.
The younger talkers tended to produce vowels that showed the length contrast less clearly than the older talkers.
The younger talkers do not contrast long and short vowels as clearly as the older talkers do.
Consequently, investigators have attempted to define more clearly the factors that may identify late talkers who will present with persistent difficulties later in life.
The six resulting scores (two editing conditions x 3 blocks) were each based on 24 forced-choice judgments (6 stops x 2 talkers x 2 repetitions).
Moreover, these results are not due simply to the background characteristics of talkers.
Many late talkers have age-adequate receptive language, but some have delays in both receptive and expressive language.
