“…More speci cally, comparative studies centred on early verbal and nonverbal interactions have suggested that the large amount of speech addressed to the infant is only characteristic of certain cultures. Richman et al (1988) conducted a comparative study of mother-infant interactive styles in children aged 3-4 months and 9-10 months in ve different cultures. They showed, for instance, that in contrast to the North American, Swedish, or Italian mothers, the Gusii mothers from Kenya emphasised physical contact (holding the baby, kissing him/her, etc.)…”

The infant-directed speech of Wolof-speaking Senegalese mothers and French-speaking mothers living in Paris were compared to relate infantdirected communicative acts to the value system of the society to which the speaker belongs, and to describe the child's place in those societies. Motherinfant linguistic interactions with 4-month-old infants were recorded ( ve dyads in the French group and four in the Wolof group). The discourse variables of the pragmatic and semantic categories in the mothers' speech were analysed. The cross-cultural analysis included a comparison of the conventional versus shifted use of person markers by the mothers in the two cultures. The results demonstrated some features common to both groups, namely, a high percentage of expressive speech acts and the importance of affect-related statements. Some culture-speci c emphases and tendencies were also noted. Whereas the French mothers' conversation al exchanges with their infants were dyadic in organisation and centred on the immediate physical environment, the Wolof mothers frequently expanded the dyadic framework to introduce third parties as conversation al partners but talked very little about the immediate physical environment. Thus, it appears that cultural conceptions in uence not only the content of mother-infant exchanges but also their participant structure.By studying a well-speci ed social and interactional situation-"dialogues" between mothers and their babies-in two different cultural contexts

“…De acuerdo con lo expuesto, una intervención quirúrgica oportuna, junto con un ingreso precoz al programa fonoaudiológico de estimulación temprana, contribuiría a la disminución del alto porcentaje de AC encontrado y, por consiguiente, a evitar las dificultades asociadas entre las que se cuenta el retraso del desarrollo, así como problemas de aprendizaje (lectura y escritura) 32 y, consecuentemente, las alteraciones en las habilidades comunicativas en la edad escolar 33, 34. A la luz de los resultados, se plantea la necesidad de revisar patrones de conducta vocal prelingüística de los bebés portadores de fisura con compromiso velar, debido a lo crítica que es la etapa del balbuceo canónico en relación con la instauración de la AC.…”

Articulación compensatoria en niños Chilenos con fisura labiopalatinaCompensatory articulation in cleft lip and palate Chilean children RESUMEN La articulación compensatoria es una alteración específica del paciente con fisura labiopalatina en la cual este modifica fonemas orales de alta presión produciéndolos cerca de las cuerdas vocales. Afecta la inteligibilidad y si no se resuelve conlleva múltiples problemas. Diversos factores se han relacionado con su instauración. Aún se discute su origen fonético-fonológico. La prevención y detección temprana resultan cruciales. Objetivo: determinar la frecuencia de articulación compensatoria en menores chilenos (nacidos entre junio de 2005 y junio de 2007) con diagnóstico de fisura con compromiso velar operados en la Fundación Gantz y relacionarla con factores intervinientes. Metodología: Revisión de fichas clínicas, aplicación de exclusiones y relación de datos y análisis estadístico de algunos de ellos. Resultados: 53% de los pacientes entre cinco y siete años presentaron articulación compensatoria (29 de 55). Este grupo fue intervenido del paladar en promedio a los doce meses e ingresó a fonoaudiología a los diez meses, presentando un 83% de asociación con dificultades de lenguaje. Solo un 32% de ellos presentó insuficiencia velofaríngea. Conclusiones: se encontró una alta frecuencia de articulación compensatoria que inicialmente se relacionaría con la fisura palatina e insuficiencia velofaríngea. Entre los aspectos críticos, se destaca la edad de cierre del velo, la edad del niño y los objetivos de la estimulación prelingüística y la asociación con retrasos/trastornos de lenguaje, principalmente del nivel fonológico.Palabras claves: articulación compensatoria, fisura palatina, insuficiencia velofaríngea. ABSTRACTCompensatory articulation is a specific alteration of cleft-palate patients in which the production of high pressure phonemes is changed: they are produced near the vocal cords. This change affects intelligibility and when not solved it causes several problems. Different factors have been linked to this phenomenon. Its phonetic-phonological cause is still discussed and both the prevention and early detection are vital. Objective: To determine the frequency of compensatory articulation in Chilean children born between June 2005 and June 2007 with diagnosis of cleft velum and operated in Gantz Foundation and relate it to the factors that intervene it. Method: The medical records of the children were reviewed and exclusion criteria were applied. Data gathered from the medical records were statistically analysed. Results: 53% of the children aged between 5 and 7 presented compensatory articulation. These children were operated on at the age of about 12 months and had had in speech therapy at the age of 10 months. They presented an 83% of association with language difficulties. Only 32% of the children showed velopharyngeal insufficiency. Conclusions: It was found a high compensatory articulation frequency, which would be initially related to the cleft palate and...

“…Psychologists and anthropologists have found that adult-child co-sleeping is the mainstream sleeping arrangement for children in many countries and cultures, such as in Japan (Miyake et al, 1985;Hobara, 2003), mainland China , the Gusii community in rural Kenya (Richman et al, 1988), throughout India (Shweder, 2003), and amongst the Basque (Crawford, 1994) and Highland Mayan peoples (Morelli et al, 1992). The prevalence of cosleeping also varies across racial groups in the United States (Medoff and Schaefer, 1993).…”

In mainstream Western cultures where bedtime means isolation and separation from adults, picture books about bedtime are cultural artifacts created especially for this transitional process of separation. In a culture such as Taiwan where children often sleep with their parents, siblings, or other caregivers until elementary school, the need for picture books about bedtime is an imported concept. The large number of translated Western bedtime books found in Taiwan becomes a rich area in which to explore the impact of imported ideas of childhood on Taiwanese picture book creation. This article takes a close look at the books created by Taiwanese authors with a bedtime theme and notes their culturally hybrid qualities.
