本研究旨在探讨说话者在称呼幼儿时是否夸大了韵律线索对句法结构的影响。在四个实验中，72名母亲和48名非母亲使用句法上模棱两可的句子（如用勺子触摸猫）来表达工具（高依恋）或修饰语（低依恋）的解释，以解决真实的2-4岁或想象中的儿童以及成年同伙。与成人导向言语（ADS）相比，母亲在儿童导向言语（CDS）中产生了更长的片段和停顿。然而，在CDS中，母亲延长后名词性停顿的工具和修饰语的句子在一个类似的程度，从而未能消除两种解释之间的歧义。相比之下，非母亲提供了可靠的韵律消歧线索，在CDS产生后名词性停顿，更长的工具比修饰句。实验5，从50名参与者的评级，确定表达积极的影响是较高的CDS的母亲比非母亲。与ADS相比，CDS中的语音影响和韵律消歧程度之间的负相关性表明，情感和语言韵律之间可能存在权衡，使得情感韵律的更大优势可能限制韵律线索作为句法结构标记的信息量。
The study examines whether speakers exaggerate prosodic cues to syntactic structure when addressing young children. In four experiments, 72 mothers and 48 non-mothers addressed either real 2–4-year old or imaginary children as well as adult confederates using syntactically ambiguous sentences like Touch the cat with the spoon intending to convey either an instrument (high attachment) or a modifier (low attachment) interpretation. Mothers produced longer segments and pauses in child-directed speech (CDS) compared to adult-directed speech (ADS). However, in CDS, mothers lengthened post-nominal pauses in both the instrument and the modifier sentences to a similar extent thereby failing to disambiguate between the two interpretations. In contrast, non-mothers provided reliable prosodic disambiguation cues in CDS by producing post-nominal pauses that were longer in instrument than modifier sentences. Experiment 5, using ratings from 50 participants, determined that expressed positive affect was higher in the CDS of mothers than of non-mothers. Negative correlations between vocal affect and degree of prosodic disambiguation in CDS compared to ADS suggest that there may be a trade-off between affective and linguistic prosody such that greater dominance of affective prosody may limit the informativeness of prosodic cues as markers of syntactic structure.
