This free downloadable PDF looks at child-directed speech.

Also known as Motherese, Parentese, Baby Talk, and Infant-Directed Speech, child-directed speech grabs young children’s attention more effectively than normal speech. It helps children learn words, the structure of language, and the give-and-take of conversation. It also aids in the development of emotional bonds.
