Early language socialisation

This study explored the role of three types of early language interaction between parents and children (sitting quietly and talking, singing nursery rhymes, reading books) in the development of infants’ language comprehension and expression at 1 year. All three language socialization activities commonly take place within families, but parents do not always play an equal part in them, depending on their social position and cultural capital (culture in which they were immersed when young, education level, etc.), as well as the child’s sex and number of siblings.
