Research subject Child language development
Research in child language development examine how human beings acquire language. Our research questions focus on multimodal parent-child communication, features of child-directed speech, and the relationship between perception and production.
Child language development is today an independent research subject that has sprung from general linguistics and phonetics. The research aims to describe how children acquire language in interaction with their environment and is related to research in both biology and cognitive sciences. To a large extent, the research within child language development is conducted in the Phonetics Laboratory, that is equipped with facilities for EEG measurement, tracking of articulatory movements, and audio and video recordings.
