A handful of scientists are picking apart infants' utterances and finding that not only is there an ordered sequence of vocal stages between birth and the first words, but in hearing-impaired babies a type of babbling thought to signal an emerging capacity for speech is delayed and distorted. Babies Sound Off: the power of babble
I think there's a gap in not only~but(also) structure in that-clause, and the gap is 'there is' since it appeared in an inverted form after "not only"
So to check the clause once more, can the following that-clause be separated into below two sentence?
that not only is there an ordered sequence of vocal stages between birth and the first words, but in hearing-impaired babies a type of babbling thought to signal an emerging capacity for speech is delayed and distorted.
>There is an ordered sequence of vocal stages between birth and the first words. And in hearing-impaired babies, there is a type of babbling thought to signal an emerging too.
