Oh, I am sure that I could be MORE wrong...LOL!Actually, it is not so odd a use, since "incidental" is often taken as a synonym for "casual" or "not deliberate". But I already acknowledged that I should have made that point clearer....I think that the examples that you give are ambiguous, since it obvious that a civilized mother would betray her anxiety to have the baby speak, and therefore try to emphasize it. It is still imitative and very informal....
