Motherese in German-speaking mothers

[Professor Annette Karmiloff-Smith]

I have been told that motherese in German-speaking mothers is less
sing-songy, less pronounced in terms of stress patterns etc. compared
to English or French, say.  Could German-speaking child language
researchers confirm or otherwise please.
PLEASE SEND YOUR RESPONSE TO m.elsabbagh at ich.ucl.ac.uk   since I am
abroad and getting onto a very antiquated system that may
crash if too many responses!
Many thanks
Annette Karmiloff-Smith
