研究人员检查了五个学习法语和五个学习英语的婴儿的重复牙牙学语，以寻找特定语言节奏模式的证据。研究了三种类型的模式：最终音节延长、非最终音节的时间安排以及每个话语的音节数。英语和法语都表现出尾音节延长，但由于单词重音的变化，英语倾向于延长非尾音重读音节以及尾音音节。因此，法语的最后音节延长更为突出，因为它是延长的唯一常规来源。还有一些迹象表明，法语中最后音节延长的程度比英语更大。此外，法语非尾音音节不受英语可变单词重音的影响，通常长度相等，而英语往往有更多不规则时间的非尾音音节。最后，法语呼吸群通常包含多达四到六个音节，而英语重读音节之间的间隔很少包含超过三个音节。法国和美国婴儿的重复牙牙学语表现出了环境语言的特征。特别是，法国婴儿的咿呀学语显示出最终音节延长的比例明显高于美国婴儿。他们的最后一个音节延长的幅度也更大。法国婴儿还发出明显更多的重复性牙牙学语，长度为四个或更多音节。最后，法国婴儿的非最终音节往往比美国婴儿的非最终音节更有规律，尽管这种模式只出现在婴儿重复牙牙学语的后期。
The reduplicative babbling of five French- and five English-learning infants was examined for evidence of language-specific rhythmic patterns. Three types of patterns were examined: final-syllable lengthening, timing of nonfinal syllables, and number of syllables per utterance. Both English and French exhibit final-syllable lengthening but, because of variable word stress, English tends to lengthen nonfinal stressed syllables, as well as final ones. Thus French final-syllable lengthening is more salient because it is the only regular source of lengthening. There is also some indication that the magnitude of final syllable lengthening is greater in French than in English. In addition, French nonfinal syllables, which are not subject to English variable word stress, are generally equal in length, whereas English tends to have more irregularly timed nonfinal syllables. Finally, French breath-groups often contain as many as four to six syllables, whereas intervals between stressed syllables in English rarely contain more than three syllables. The reduplicative babbling of the French and American infants showed characteristics of the ambient language. In particular, the babbling of the French infants showed a significantly higher percentage of final-syllable lengthening than that of the American infants. The magnitude of their final-syllable lengthening was also greater. The French infants also produced significantly more reduplicative babbles that were four or more syllables in length. Finally, the nonfinal syllables of the French infants tended to be more regularly timed than those of the American infants, although this pattern emerged only in the later stage of the infants' reduplicative babbles.
