Phonological Development:
Ways of Simplification
- Deletion
Anmerkungen:
- Simplifying pronunciation by deleting sounds.
- Final consonants may be dropped. For example, the /t/ in 'cat' and 'hat'.
- Unstressed syllables are often deleted. For example, 'banana' can be simplified to 'nana'.
- Consonant clusters are reduced. For example, 'snake' becomes 'nake' and 'sleep' becomes 'seep'.
- Substitution
Anmerkungen:
- Simplifying pronunciation by substituting harder sounds with easier ones.
- Substituting /r/ (as in 'rock') for /w/.
- Substituting /th/ (as in 'thumb') or /TH/ (as in 'that') for /d/, /f/, or /n/.
- Substituting /t/ (as in 'toe') for /d/.
- Substituting /p/ (as in 'pig') for /b/.
- Reduplication
- When different sounds are pronounced the same way. For example, 'dog' becomes 'gog'.
- Understanding
(Berko and Brown,
1960)
- A child refers to his plastic fish as his 'fis'.
- When asked 'is that your fis?', he replies 'no, my fis.'
- When asked 'is that your fish?', he replies 'yes, my fis'.
- Prove that understanding develops faster than the ability to pronounce things.
- Another child confused 'card' with 'cart' and 'jug' with
'duck', but when shown pictures of these items
identified them correctly.
