I don't know about baby-talk, but I do notice increasing numbers of females of all ages using a high-pitched nasal tone that sounds forced. It drives me up a wall ESPECIALLY when every sentence ends on an upswing in pitch (as if everything is a question).
And it seems utterly ridiculous coming out of a woman who's in her mid-to-late thirties and older! I'm in my thirties, and I seem to remember as a kid, that adult females sounded like -- well -- WOMEN, and not girls. Even women with naturally higher/lighter voices didn't do the nasal/upswing thing.
Drives me nuts!
