3 constructs to describe children’s speech acquisition
- Early - middle - late 8
- PPC
- Age of acquisition
Early - middle - late 8 is based on…?
Children with speech delay…?
clustering in a rank-ordered sequence of percent correct consonants in speech-delayed children
- typically have nearly all of the Early-8 English consonant sounds
correct - only some of the Middle-8 sounds correct
- few of the Late-8 sounds correct.
early 8
/ p, b, j, n, w, d, m, h /
middle 8
/ t, η, k, g, f, v, t∫, dʒ /
late 8
(/∫/, /s/, /θ/, /δ/, /r/, /z/, /ʒ/, /l/)
how is PPC calculated?
d by dividing the number of consonants produced correctly by
the total number of consonants in a connected speech sample.
Average age of acquisition of English consonants
2: p
3: b, t, d, k, g, m, n, ng, f, h, y, w
4: v, s, z, sh, ch, j, l
5: th (voiced), zh, r
6: th (voiceless)
what is the most common developmental speech impairment?
developmental SSD
What does developmental SSD often co-occur with?
DLD, reading or spelling disability, stuttering
if SSDs persist beyond preschool….
30%–77% may also experience
reading difficulties
without specialist services, children with SSD face…
increased risk of
lifelong social, educational, and vocational limitations
what are phonological processes?
mental substitutions which systematically but subconsciously adapt our phonological intentions to our phonetic capabilities
what are syllable structure processes?
- Affect the syllable shape itself
- Delete a syllable or segment
within a syllable - Reduplicate a particular syllable shape
- Weak syllable deletion
- Final consonant deletion
- Reduplication
- Cluster reduction
What are systemic processes?
- Affect segments within syllables, either in terms of the place or the manner of articulation
- Stopping: fricative → stop
- Voicing: voiceless → voiced
- Devoicing: voiced → voiceless
- Gliding: liquid → glide
- Fronting: sounds at back →
sounds at front - Backing: sounds at front →
sounds at back
What are assimilatory processes?
- Neighbouring syllables of
segments influence each other - Nasal assimilation
- Consonant harmony
- Reduplication
acceptable error patterns for 3;0-3;5
- gliding
- fronting of velars
- deaffrication
- cluster reduction
- weak syllable deletion
- stopping of fricatives
acceptable error patterns for 3;6-3;11
- gliding
- fronting of velars
- deaffrication
- cluster reduction
- weak syllable deletion
acceptable error patterns for 4;0-4;11
- gliding
- deaffrication
acceptable error patterns for 5;0-5;11
gliding
atypical errors means…
disorder not delay
examples of atypical errors
- backing
- affrication
- initial consonant deletion
- medial consonant deletion
- intrusive consonants
- denasalisation
- favoured sound
what is affrication?
replacement of stops with fricatives or affricates
