What is exceptional about human infants is not their sophisticated speech perception (for animals perceive human speech similarly) but their use of speech to regulate linguistic attention and bootstrap language. Using a new validated measure, language specific speech perception (discrimination ability for native minus non-native speech sounds), we can ascertain the distribution of resources in linguistic tasks. This will be used in conjunction with a raft of experimental psycholinguistic techniques to investigate speech processing bases of vocabulary development, normal and dyslexic reading ability, and adult linguistic first and second language processing; to derive a dynamic new conception of language development.

人类婴儿的特殊之处不是他们复杂的言语感知（对于动物来说，同样会感知人类的言语），而是他们使用语音来调节语言关注和举止语言。使用新的验证措施，特定于语言的语音感知（对本地减去非本地语音的歧视能力），我们可以确定语言任务中资源的分布。这将与一系列实验性心理语言技术结合使用，以研究词汇发展，正常和阅读障碍阅读能力以及成人语言的第一语言和第二语言处理的语音处理基础；得出动态的语言发展概念。
