Speech and co-speech gestures always go hand in hand. Whether we find the precursors of these co-speech gestures in infants before they master their native language still remains an open question. Except for deictic gestures, there is little agreement on the existence of iconic, non-referential and symbolic gestures before children start producing...

... used the ELAN video coding software (Version 6.7, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics 2023) to code the form, type, and semantic-pragmatic functions of gestures occurring during spontaneous infants-caregiver interactions. A schematic representation of the consecutive steps followed for coding the videos is provided in Figure 1. The coding process can be described in four steps: ...

Limited studies have examined demographic differences in children’s vocabulary in longitudinal samples, while there are questions regarding the duration, direction, and magnitude of these effects across development. In this longitudinal study, we included over 400 Dutch children. Caregivers filled out N-CDIs when children were 9–11 months (measurin...
