AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document contains descriptive linguistics materials on Comanche baby talk. Included are a list of words, kinship terms, and a discussion of phonetics and reduplication in baby word formation. Because English has replaced Comanche as a first language, the words were collected from older adults. Casagrande concludes the article with a brief discussion of universals in baby languages and some suggestions about the importance of the study of language acquisition.
