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