title = "Studying child-directed speech",
abstract = "In this chapter, we summarize the different questions asked by studies of child-directed speech (CDS) and the methodological approaches taken to answer them. We first summarize how CDS has been described in the literature, including how it is argued to vary across language communities. We then discuss what the available evidence can and cannot tell us about the mechanisms that drive production and effects of CDS and its role in language transmission. Finally, we suggest directions for future research that place CDS in the context of the cultural diversity of children{\textquoteright}s complex multimodal sociocultural environments within which language transmission takes place.",
