Peaks Beyond Phonology: Adolescence, Incrementation, and Language Change (2009, background): “Recent research by Foulkes, Docherty, and Watt (2005) on child-directed speech (CDS) has found that the frequencies of sociolinguistic variants in the speech of caregivers differed depending on whether the addressee was an adult or a child.”
The social life of phonetics and phonology (2006, background): “Parents presumably avoid these forms with boys because their connotations of immaturity are incompatible with boys’ assumed development of masculine identity (see further Foulkes et al., 2005).”
“Mam, my trousers is fa'in doon!”: Community, caregiver, and child in the acquisition of variation in a Scottish dialect (2007, methodology): “…(1999, 2005) looked at the speech of 40 children aged 2 to 4 in Tyneside, England, focusing on the realizations of wordmedial intersonorant and word-final prevocalic (t), which is “the locus of a particularly complex pattern of sociolinguistic and phonetic variation” (Foulkes et al., 2005:185).”
The social and linguistic in the acquisition of sociolinguistic norms: Caregivers, children, and variation (2013, background): “Even more recent research provides some evidence that they are acquired even earlier, in tandem with the acquisition process more generally (e.g., Diaz-Campos 2005; Foulkes et al. 2005; Roberts 1994; Smith et al. 2007).”
Universal and dialect-specific pathways of acquisition: Caregivers, children, and t/d deletion (2009, background): “This contributes to the growing body of evidence that shows that variable rules are acquired at the same time as categorical rules (e.g., Foulkes et al., 1999, 2005; Roberts & Labov, 1995) and highlights how “the complexities of variation well-documented in adult language have their beginnings much…”
