The availability of cues for word segmentation and vocabulary acquisition in Catalan child-directed speech

Several previous studies have already pointed out the usefulness of child-directed speech for several tasks during the language acquisition process. In particular, recent research suggests that the kind of structural and lexical simplifications found in the type of language especially addressed to l...
