Topic Reading-Vol.1746-1/21/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
'Puppy talk' - why do we use it and do dogs respond?
Puppies and infants. Most people speak to them in the same or similar way. Both look cute and innocent. Neither speaks nor thinks. But they react to some of the words or phrases you say to them. Therefore, people tend to speak slowly and clearly to make sure they respond as you expect.
Does it really work for puppies? It seems so. Researchers found that puppies in fact respond to recorded voices of such phrases. But what about grown up dogs? Do they respond to such dog-directed speech?
Enjoy reading and learning how you should use your language to dogs and infants.
