Disparity of Findings
Socioeconomic
Number of subjects
Method of speech sampling
Determining mastery – the age at which a particular phoneme is produced with some degree of accuracy (75-100% or 90-100%)
Customary Production – the age at which a particular phoneme is produced with greater than 50% accuracy in at least two word positions.
Gender of subjects
D
ialectsSlide6
Developmental findings
90% mastery of several phonemes occurs by 3
Master of English phonemes may not be complete until 7-9 years
Manner – nasal, stops acquired first, then glides, fricatives, liquids and affricates
Place – front (labial/
alverolar
) produced first, then velar and palatal.Slide7
Phonological process
Based on Natural Phonology theory – young children are born with innate processes necessary for the production of speech.
They often simplify the adult form.
As they mature, they learn to suppress the processes, and produce the appropriate formSlide8
Phonological Processes
Simplification of adult speech patterns
As children mature they learn to suppress these processes
Child is not viewed as not having a sound in his phonetic inventory, but as using a process that results in the deletion of that sound
Are found in typically developing childrenSlide9
Phonological Processes
Categories
Syllable structure processes
Substitution processes
Assimilatory processesSlide10
Phonological Processes
Table 7.2Slide11
Syllable Structure Processes
Syllables are simplified, usually into a consonant-vowel (CV) pattern
CV patterns among the first to be used by infants Slide12
Syllable Structure Processes
Weak syllable deletion
Weak syllable is omitted when it precedes or follows a stressed syllable
Final consonant deletion
Final consonant is deleted
Patten becomes open syllable (CV)
Children start to use final consonants by 3:0
Process suppressed by 3:6Slide13
Syllable Structure Processes
Reduplication
Repetition of a syllable of a word
Total reduplication – entire syllable
Partial reduplication – repetition of just a consonant or vowel
Suppressed before 3:0
Cluster reduction
Deletion of a consonant from a consonant cluster
If three sounds in consonant cluster then one or two may be deleted
Suppressed at 4:0Slide14
Substitution Processes
The replacement of one class of phonemes for anotherSlide15
Substitution Processes
Stopping
Substitution of a stop for a fricative or affricate
Common because stops are acquired before fricatives
Usually for a stop produced with the same or similar place of articulation
May have a change in voicing
Suppressed by 2:6 to 5:0Slide16
Substitution Processes
Stopping
Fricative/affricate Substitute stop

Substitution Processes
Fronting
Substitution of velar and palatal consonants with alveolar place of articulation
Suppressed by 2:6 to 3:0Slide18

Substitution Processes
Deaffrication
Substitution of fricative for an affricate
Gliding
Substitution of glides /w/ or /j/ for liquid /l/ and /r/
Suppressed by 5:0 +Slide20
Substitution Processes
Vocalization
Substitution of a vowel for postvocalic /l/ or /r/
Common in words with
/

syllabic /l/
stressed and unstressed shwars

Assimilatory Processes
Alteration in phoneme production due to phonetic environment – Assimilation
Assimilatory processes
Labial
Velar
Nasal
Voicing
Types
Progressive
Regressive
Not present in all typically developing children
Suppressed by 3:0Slide22
Assimilatory Processes
Labial assimilation
Nonlabial phoneme is produced with a labial place due to presence of labial phoneme in word
Alveolar assimilation
Nonalveolar is produced with an alveolar place of articulation due to presence of alveolar phoneme in the wordSlide23
Assimilatory Processes
Velar assimilation
Nonvelar phoneme is produced with a velar place of articulation due to presence of velar phoneme in the word
Voicing assimilation
Prevocalic
Voicing of a normally unvoiced consonant
When consonant precedes the nucleus of a syllable
Devoicing
Syllable final voiced phonemes that either
Precede a pause or silence between words, or
Occur at the end of an utterance
Final phoneme assimilates to the silence following the word Slide24
Phonological Processes
May occur individually or in combination
More than one process may affect the pronunciation of any phoneme
June to /dun/ (deaffrication, stopping and fronting)
Not all processes occur in typically developing childrenSlide25
Common Phonological Processes
Most common in typically developing children
Weak syllable deletion
Final consonant deletion
Gliding
Cluster reductionSlide26
Suppression
Suppression does not happen all at once
Most processes disappear by the age of 4
Suppressed by the age of three
Weak syllable deletion
Final consonant deletion
Reduplication
Fronting
Consonant assimilation
Prevocalic voicingSlide27
Suppression
Suppressed after the age of three
Cluster reduction
Gliding
Vocalization
Stopping
Final devoicingSlide28
Phonological Disorders
Children may display same types of processes
Processes may be suppressed laterSlide29
Processes common to children with phonological disorders
Cluster reduction
Weak syllable deletion
Final consonant deletion
Stopping
Velar and palatal fronting
Voicing processes
Labial, nasal and velar assimilation
Liquid simplification (combination of gliding and vocalization)Slide30
Idiosyncratic Processes
Processes not usually found in the speech of typically developing children
Glottal replacement –glottal stop for consonant
Backing –velar stop consonant for more anterior consonants
Usually involves alveolar and palatals, but may include labials
Initial consonant deletion
Stops replacing glide
Fricatives replacing a stopSlide31
