N2  - This paperexaminedtheemergenceofcornervowels([i],[u],[æ]and[a]) intheinfantvowelspacesandtheinfluenceof
the ambientlanguageonbabbling,inparticular,onthefrequencyofoccurrenceofthecornervowels.Speechsampleswere
recorded from51Canadianinfantsfrom8to18monthsofage,respectively,English-learninginfants(n ¼ 24) andFrench-
learning infants(n ¼ 27). Theacousticparameters(F1andF2)ofeachcodableinfantvowelwereanalyzedandthenused
to plotallthevowelsalongthe diffuse–compact (F2F1) and grave–acute dimensions ([F1+F2]/2).Listenerjudgmentsof
vowel categorywereobtainedforthemostextremevowelsineachinfant’svowelspace,i.e.,the10%vowelswithminimum
or maximum diffuse–compact and grave–acute values. Thejudgmentsofadultlisteners,bothanglophone(n ¼ 5) and
francophone (n ¼ 5), confirmed the peripheral expansion of infant vowel space toward the diffuse and grave corners with
age. Furthermore,English-learning infants were judged by both English and French-speaking listener stoproduce a
greater frequency of [u ]in the grave corner, incomparison with French-learning infants.The higher proportion o f[u]in
English sample was observed throughout the agerange suggesting the influence of ambient language at a young age
