The first studies of speech discrimination in young infants (eg Eimas, Siqueland, Jusczyk & Vigorito 1971) rekindled a longstanding interest in the role played by specific language experience in the development of speech perception. During the subsequent years of research on infant speech perception, investigations focused on whether these capacities were'learned'or'induced'directly from the specific language input experienced by the infant (see Aslin & Pisoni 1980). One hypothesis was that infants might learn to discriminate and categorize phonemes in their native language by listening to their own vocal productions and then relating these vocalizations (as well as the vocalizations of other speakers) to a set of articulatory gestures (eg Liberman, Harris, Kinney & Lane 1961). Sounds produced by the same set of articulatory gestures would become perceptually'equivalent', whereas sounds produced by different gestures would become perceptually'distinctive'. In this way, phonetic categories would emerge from the mapping of perceptual cues on to articulatory categories. However, as the data from studies of infant speech perception began to accumulate, it became apparent that infants already possessed the capacity to discriminate many, if not all, speech contrasts soon after birth with little or no prior exposure to any specific language input (see reviews by Aslin, Pisoni & Jusczyk 1983, Jusczyk 1981). In the light of these empirical findings, the emphasis with respect to the role of specific language experience shifted somewhat. Instead of focusing on
