Prosodic cues enhance infants’ sensitivity to nonadjacent regularities

In language, grammatical dependencies often hold between items that are not immediately adjacent to each other. Acquiring these nonadjacent dependencies is crucial for learning grammar. However, there are poten-tially infinitely many dependencies in the language input. How does the infant brain solv...
