The recognition of the prosodic focus position in German-learning infants from 4 to 14 months
(2006)
The aim of the present study was to elucidate in a study with 4-, 6-, 8-, and 14-month-old German-learning children, when and how they may acquire the regularities which underlie Focus-to-Stress Alignment (FSA) in the target language, that is, how prosody is associated with specific communicative functions. Our findings suggest, that 14-month-olds have already found out that German allows for variable focus positions, after having gone through a development which goes from a predominantly prosodically driven processing of the input to a processing where prosody interacts more and more with the growing lexical and syntactic knowledge of the child.

Williams-Beuren syndrome is a contiguous gene syndrome caused by a hemizygous microdeletion of DNA in 7q11.23 and its prevalence is estimated at 1 : 7500. The symptoms are variable. In addition to the typical craniofacial dysmorphia, cardiovascular malformations, renal malformations, motor and mental retardation, a characteristic personality profile, and disorders of growth and puberty are common. In contrast, hypercalcaemia and nephrocalcinosis, though frequently reported, are rarely encountered. Healthcare guidelines including diagnostic procedures and follow-up examinations as well as treatments are presented. These guidelines are based on the scientific literature and the personal experience that members of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Williams-Beuren Syndrome Association have recorded in more than 400 patients
