- higher or melodic pitch
- more frequent and longer pauses
- slower and clearer speech
- repetition
- grammatically simpler sentences
- more questions (including tag questions and known answer questions) as well as providing the answer and the question
- use of nouns rather than pronouns (e.g. 'Mummy is going to fetch a drink' instead of more ambiguous and potentially confusing 'I am going to get a drink')
- RECASTS - where the caregiver might repeat a child's utterance but provide a correct version of what the child had said ( C: I runned CG: You ran? demonstrates correct form w/o explicitly correcting them
- MITIGATED IMPS. - where a command is given but disguised in the form of a Q (e.g. 'shall we get this homework done?')
- EXPANSION - where the CGs might elaborate on the utterance given by the child
- more frequent use of plural pronouns
- use of diminutives - words that suggest a smaller version of what is being described (doggie) can also suggest affection (a nickname)
