i hate the baby talk so much pisses me offff
You might be correct... I read a few articles (3) on different studies on the topic. Althrough they don't don't directly replace the studies done many years ago that is published in many human development textbook (north America textbooks) they do show that "babies like 'baby talk'... and their brains show an advanced response to the higher pitched voice". The only caveat is that those those studies only study infants up to 9 months, not when toddlers start talking. I was referring to babies language development i.e their abilities to speak and form sentences.
If you happen to know of a more recent study on that, please share, I would love to read it.
Here are some studies with toddlers:
Infant-Directed Speech Facilitates Word Learning Through Attentional Mechanisms (Published in Developmental Science, 2023).
Word Learning in Infant- and Adult-Directed Speech (University of Connecticut, 2024).
Here’s a study of IDS on people learning a foreign language, fascinating! I recently read a different study that shows adults can learn foreign languages if they are taught through “hearing” immersion like children do, it is the most effective way to learn a new language.
From Cradle to Classroom: Infant-Directed Speech Facilitates Word Learning (2022/2025 data analysis).
for the next side stories, yaoi dukes im begging
they are so implied!! Like—at their age they should be married, having an heir and stuff but they havent. They thought of valeta as their daughter and stood firm that THEY are her parents. The panelling in the last chapter it says “this story is about understanding and love” and it shows the two dukes together. Well it could be parental love that they are talking about but let me be delusional..!
manhwa's these days have just been the same nachos reheated but goddamn this story is so refreshing and unique in its own way and the art is absolutely impeccable
If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend you check out "I Became The Youngest Sister-in-law Of The Male Leads In A Tragic Reverse Harem". Ik it's a really tacky name but the plot and characters are really well-written. The mc is a child who actually acts like children her age and each character exists independently, not just a prop to highlight the mc.
