We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  Motherese on the web


I am looking for motherese/infant-directed-speech samples in various
languages that can be downloaded from the web or that researchers are
willing to share with me.

I was only able to find the English recordings of parents interacting with
their children at Washington University (http://lsrg.cs.wustl.edu).

Ideally, the audio files I'm looking for contain just
motherese/infant-directed speech, for instance by adults reading
stories to infants.

I am aware of the fact that the same question was posted to this list in
March 2001 by Christian Schmeer, but when I tried to contacted him his
e-mail address appeared not to be working anymore.

Thanks for your help,
Sharon

Dear Colleagues,

Currently I try to collect a significant number of links that refer to
audio files sampling spoken text of *non-Indoeuropian* languages. So,
just in case you know of such a link (that features more than simply
the pronouncation of a couple of sample words), please let me know. In
the near future, I will make accessible the links to the public on a
seperate web page the URL of which I will post as a summary on
LinguistList.

Many thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
