Language Development in Infants and Children
Chandan Narayan is an Associate Professor of Linguistics at York University. His work broadly focuses on speech sounds and their perception by adults and infants, the nature of how caregivers talk to infants, and how speech acoustics and perception contribute to language change. We talk about how infants and children learn language, the use of "baby talk", how speaking multiple languages impacts learning, and how to promote language development in children.
