Resource summary
Phonological Development
How children develop ability to use & understand sounds of lang
First year
Occurs during first year
Crying, cooing, babbling, phonemic, expansion & contraction
Don't make sweeping gens when talking about later phonological development
Order in which vowels & consonants are acquired varies from child to child
Sometimes children appear to have mastered a sound in one word, but then not in another
General trends
Age 2 1/2
All vowels & 2/3 of consonants mastered
Age 4
Diff w/ only few consonants
Age 6 - 7
Confident use
Consonants are first used correctly at beginning of words
Consonants at end of words present more diff
Example - 'Push' vs 'riP'
Frequency
Gen, sounds which occur freq in large no of words be acquired before sounds that occur less freq
Making words easier (phonemic simplification)
Detection
Ignore sound exists
Final consonants
May be dropped
Unstressed syllables
Often deleted
Consonant clusters
Reduced
Substitution
Easier sounds substituted for harder ones
R becomes W
TH becomes D, N / F
T becomes D
P becomes B
Comprehension is often ahead of speech
Same can be true in phonological development
Berko & Brown (1960)
Child - Fis
Adult - This is your fis?
Child - No - my fis
Adult - Oh, this is your fish
Child - Yes my fis
Child with indistinguishable pronunciation of
Mouse / mouth
Cart / Card
Jug / Duck
Could point to corresponding pics in a comprehension task
Intonation
As a child gets older, a wider range of meanings is expressed through intonation
Example
two word stage - 'my car' vs 'MY car'
Although intonation patterns can be reproduced from an early stage, understanding of meaning is still developing into teenage yrs
Cruttenden (1974)
Football results
Intonation used in 1st teams score enabled adults to accurately predict home wins away wins / draw
Children 7 - 11
Youngest = largely unsuccessful & oldest significantly less successful than adults
