1. , sum: baby-talk

Dear readers

A month ago, I asked information about baby-talk. The usual way of
getting references about this concept (librairies, PSYCHLIT) are not very
productive since the different meaning of this word and the non-existence
of a French equivalent when you work in French data-base.

I would like then to thank the following persons who help me with their
references and comments:

Dr Clare Gallaway, Dr A Rene Schmauder, Dr Allan C Wechsler, Dr James L.
Fidelholtz, Dr David M. W. Powers and Dr Ulla Sundberg
