Message 1: Motherese and SLA

From: Laura Wagner <wagnerpsych.umass.edu>
Subject: Motherese and SLA

Thanks to everyone who sent me references.

The reason I wrote in the first place was to help out a graduate student here -- I wanted to make sure there was something out there on this topic and give her a head start on references. I discovered that there is lots and lots of work going on about the influence of input style on SLA, and so my reference list below reflects only the tip of the iceberg.

Best,

Laura
