- Title
Sound Change in Child Language: A Study of Inter-Word Variation.
- Authors
Berg, Thomas
- Abstract
The goal of this study is to retrace in minute detail a single step forward in the phonological development of a German-speaking child. The sound change under focus is the acquisition of velar stops in word-initial positions. Basically, two strategies of self-correction are available to the language learner wishing to approximate to the adult way of speaking. A shift from the incorrect sound /A/ to the correct sound /B/ may be effected either at the phonetic-phonological or at the lexical level.
