Should parents talk baby talk?

Motherese is an informal term for the kind of language that mothers (and other caretakers) use when speaking to babies. Motherese, which many mothers do automatically, is an effective way of communicating with your baby.
Even though he won't understand the meaning of your words yet, motherese can make language more accessible to your baby.

Voice Pitch & Facial Expressions

Most babies are naturally drawn to high-pitched voices. Women generally have higher-pitched voices than men; when speaking to their babies, many mothers pitch their voices even higher. There are exceptions to this; try out low pitches, and see what your baby favors.

Exaggerated expressiveness is another aspect of motherese. Babies respond to facial expressions that are larger than life.
Widen your eyes to show delight or surprise, and exaggerate the mouthing of some words.		Translation - Latvian
Vai vecākiem vajadzētu atdarināt bērnu valodu?

Māmiņruna ir neoficiāls termins tai valodai, kuru lieto mātes (un citi cilvēki, kas rūpējas par bērnu), kad runā ar mazuli.Māmiņruna ir iedarbīgs veids, kā sazināties ar mazuli, un daudzas mātes to dara automātiski.
Lai gan mazulis nesaprot vārdu nozīmi, ar māmiņrunas palīdzību valoda mazulim tiek padarīta vieglāk saprotama.

Balss tonis un sejas izteiksmes

Lielajam vairumam mazuļu dabiski ļoti patīk augstas balsis. Sievietēm parasti ir augstākas balsis nekā vīriešiem, un, runājot ar mazuļiem, daudzām mātēm balsis kļūst vēl augstākas.
Tomēr ir izņēmumi — pamēģiniet runāt zemākā balsī, lai pārliecinātos, kas jūsu bērnam patīk labāk.

Pārspīlētas sejas izteiksmes ir vēl viena māmiņrunas pazīme. Mazuļi reaģē uz sejas izteiksmēm, kas ir lielākas nekā dzīvē. Iepletiet acis, lai izrādītu patiku vai pārsteigumu, un izrunājiet dažus vārdus īpaši izteiksmīgi.

"Vairāk nekā dzīve", filma par ievērojamo latviešu režisoru Alvi Hermani.

Ginta Grūbes dokumentālā filma "Vairāk nekā dzīve" atklāj ievērojamā latviešu režisora Alvja Hermaņa režijas metodi, atsakoties no klasiskā dramaturģiskā materiāla, bet meklējot teātra, dokumentalitātes un dzīvesstāstu saskares punktus, kā arī jebkura dzīvesstāsta transformācijas iespējas teātrī.

Režisors Alvis Hermanis, veidojot izrādes, nereti sūta savus aktierus ekspedīcijās uz laukiem, pie dažādiem cilvēkiem, dažādās valstīs un pilsētās, lai no aktieru ievāktajiem stāstiem veidotu kolektīvu kopdarbu – lugu uz skatuves, sava veida noskatītas un noklausītas realitātes teātri, kas aktieru izpildījumā kļūst par izrādi.

Filma ir kā dokumentāla liecība režisora Hermaņa darba metodei, dokumentējot viņa darbu pie izrāžu tapšanas Rīgā un Vācijā, veidojot paralēlus vēstījumus starp teātra tēliem un izvēlētajiem prototipiem reālajā dzīvē. Dokumentālā filma ir gan Hermaņa metodes atspoguļojums, gan Latvijas kā īpašās Austrumeiropas pieredzes reģiona dokumentējums, izmantojot Hermaņa un viņa aktieru piedāvāto kolektīvo risinājumu.

Kā norāda filmas režisors Gints Grūbe, Hermanis par savu paveikto darbu ir pelnījis, ka tiek iemūžināts ne tikai filmā, bet arī grāmatā. "Vairāk nekā dzīve" ir pirmā kino liecība par Hermaņa darba netodi, kuras unikalitāte slēpjas mēģinājumā sapludināt dzīves dramaturģiju ar teātra dramaturģiju.

Filmā dokumentēts Hermaņa darbs trīs teātros – Jaunajā Rīgas teātrī, Minhenes Kamerteātrī un Ķelnes Pilsētas teātrī.

"Vairāk nekā dzīve" (More than Life), a film about the famous Latvian director Alvis Hermanis

The documentary "Vairāk nekā dzīve" by Gints Grūbe portrays the directing method of the famous Latvian director Alvis Hermanis, who refused to use the classical drama texts, but instead looked for the intersection points between theatre, documentary films and real life stories, as well as any possibility to transform a life story into a play.

When directing his plays, Alvis Hermanis often sends his actors on expeditions to the countryside, to different countries and cities to meet different people and to create a collective play from those stories — a play which is a representation of the reality these people shared with the actors and which comes alive as a performance.

This film is documentary evidence of Hermanis' way of working, documenting his involvement with the production of plays in Riga and in Germany and creating a parallel story between the characters of his plays and their real life prototypes. Employing this method of both the actors and the director being involved in the production, the film not only depicts Hermanis' techniques, but also Latvia's historical experience of being part of Eastern Europe.

As the director of the film, Gints Grūbe, says, Hermanis deserves to have his work documented in a film and also in a book. "Vairāk nekā dzīve" is the first cinematic testimony about Hermanis’ method of directing and its secret lies in the attempt to merge real life drama with theatre drama.

The documentary depicts the work of Alvis Hermanis at three theatres — New Rīga Theatre, Munich Kammerspiele, and Schauspiel Köln.

Bio

Speaking directly to the reader


Background

Some people have an ear for music. I have an ear for the way written
text sounds. I can provide a translation that perfectly mimics the
tonality, emotionality, and impact of the original text.

Having lived in Latvia, Denmark, Belgium, and Poland, I learned all about the different nuances of communication within an intercultural environment. With a background in Anthropology and Global Health, I have mastered a scientific attention to detail and the analytical skills required for doing a thorough background research, whatever is the topic – sharing economy, jewellery, child development, and beyond.

Now living in Latvia again, I am immersed in the local language and I will offer a translation with an international flair for a local audience.


What can I do for you?

I approach all of my projects with the same care and dedication as the marketing experts who created them. I provide creative, persuasive content that respects the spirit of the original and will generate the desired response from the new target customer.

In addition, I have lived and studied in three countries over the last four years. This intercultural exposure gave me an in-depth perspective of the intricacies of the English language. As an anthropologist I have a high awareness of cultural and political sensitivities and I will provide a text that respects cultural and historical nuances.

Born, raised, and currently living in Latvia, I have a deep familiarity with the local culture and can perfectly replicate Latvian idioms, puns, cultural references and country-specific phrases.

In marketing, literal translations will not do the trick. You need a fluid, flowing text that feels as if it was written in the resulting language. If we collaborate, I will help you achieve that goal.

If your project is on a different topic than those listed in my project history, do not hesitate to contact me anyway. Translating in any field always requires thorough research of the subject matter. An extensive background research will be a normal part of our collaboration as well.
