Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infant-directed speech, also called baby talk or motherese, involves speaking in a clear rhythm, exaggerating tones, and using simple grammar. This type of speech is often used when speaking to infants and young children, and is thought to help with language acquisition and development. While speaking directly to Chloe (A) and making sure she is looking at him (B) are important for communication, they are not specifically related to infant-directed speech. Similarly, using specific words or sounds like "ba-ba" for "bottle" (C) is not necessarily part of infant-directed speech.
