The repetitive nature of the speech directed to young infants and the ecological context of the adult-infant natural interaction setting are analyzed in the light of the “Ecological theory of language acquisition” proposed by Lacerda et al. (2004, this volume). The analysis of transcripts of adult-infant interaction sessions suggests that enough information to derive general noun associations may be available as a consequence of the particular context of the adult-infant interactions during the early stages of the language acquisition process. date: 2004 date_type: published volume: 117 publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies pagerange: 149-150 refereed: TRUE citation: Lacerda, Francisco and Marklund, Ellen and Lagerkvist, Lisa and Gustavsson, Lisa and Klintfors, Eeva and Sundberg, Ulla (2004) On the linguistic implications of context-bound adult-infant interactions.
