Parentese does not specifically prevent errors of overgeneralization, which is a common error in child language acquisition where a child applies a rule too broadly, such as saying "goed" instead of "went". However, parentese does have many benefits for language acquisition, including attracting and holding a child's attention, and helping with language comprehension.
