Abstract
⺠We investigated sensitivity to pitch and tone variation in bilingual infants. ⺠Like monolinguals, younger infants defined words by pitch and tone characteristics. ⺠By 11 months, infants demonstrated language-specific sensitivities. ⺠Sensitivity to tone contrasts in word recognition emerges by 11 months.
