babbling

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Annabelle David,
    Barbara's message seems quite helpful.  In addition, have you tried using
the Child Language Bibliography to search for articles on "babbling?"  I
tried it just now and found 101 references.  Perhaps you could take a look at
these.  It is clear just from a cursory glance through the references that
there are quite a few that include crosslinguistic comparisons.
  To find the bibliography, go to the CHILDES home page and click on the
button on the sixth line.  Good luck.
