Au cours des dernières décennies, de nombreuses études ont montré comment les capacités précoces générales des enfants pour traiter le langage se transforment en capacités spécialisées pour la langue qu'ils acquièrent. Ces études ont montré que pendant la deuxième moitié de leur première année de vie, les enfants deviennent sensibles aux propriétés prosodiques, phonétiques et phonotactiques de leur langue maternelle concernant les éléments adjacents. Cependant, aucune étude n'avait mis en évidence la sensibilité des enfants à des dépendances phonologiques non- adjacentes, qui sont un élément clé dans les langues humaines. Par conséquent, la présente thèse a examiné si les enfants sont capables de détecter, d'apprendre et d’utiliser des dépendances phonotactiques non-adjacentes. Le biais Labial-Coronal, correspondant à la prévalence des structures commençant par une consonne labiale suivie d'une consonne coronale (LC, comme bateau), par rapport au pattern inverse Coronal-Labial (CL, comme tabac), a été utilisé pour explorer la sensibilité des nourrissons

Most successfully, ABC Family uses Twitter to promote the teen drama Pretty Little Liars through the use of hashtags and celebrity interactions. This study analyzes Pretty Little Liars’ use of hashtags created by the network and by actors from the show. It examines how the Pretty Little Liars’ official accounts engage fans about their opinions on the show and encourage further discussion. Fans use the network- generated hashtags within their tweets to react to particular scenes and to hopefully be noticed by managers of official show accounts.
