  2. Phonological development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_development

    Phonological development refers to how children learn to organize sounds into meaning or language during their stages of growth. Sound is at the beginning of language learning. Children have to learn to distinguish different sounds and to segment the speech stream they are exposed to into units – eventually meaningful units – in order to ...

  3. Speech acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_acquisition

    As an infant grows into a child their ability to discriminate between speech sounds should increase. Rvachew (2007) [5] described three developmental stages in which a child recognizes or discerns adult-like, phonological and articulatory representations of sounds. In the first stage, the child is generally unaware of phonological contrast and ...

  4. Prosodic bootstrapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosodic_bootstrapping

    For example, children can differentiate between words such as "dice" and "red ice", even though both are phonologically similar. This is because a prosodic boundary will not appear in the middle of the word *(d][ice) but around the word instead ([dice]). [14] Children use phonological phrase boundaries to constrain lexical access.

  5. Bootstrapping (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(linguistics)

    Prosodic bootstrapping or phonological bootstrapping investigates how prosodic information—which includes stress, rhythm, intonation, pitch, pausing, as well as dialectal features—can assist a child in discovering the grammatical structure of the language that they are acquiring.

  6. Language development - Wikipedia

    Syllable simplification – another process that happens in order to simplify syllable structure, children delete certain sounds systematically. For example, children might say 'tap' instead of "stop" and completely drop the 's' sound in that word. That is a common process in children's speech development.

  7. Speech sound disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_sound_disorder

    The term "protracted phonological development" is sometimes preferred when describing children's speech, to emphasize the continuing development while acknowledging the delay. A study in the United States estimated that amongst 6 year olds, 5.3% of African American children and 3.8% of White children have a speech sound disorder. [1]

  8. Phonological awareness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_awareness

    Phonological awareness is an auditory skill that is developed through a variety of activities that expose students to the sound structure of the language and teach them to recognize, identify and manipulate it. Listening skills are an important foundation for the development of phonological awareness and they generally develop first.

    The child's mental representation is then converted by a small set of rules called Realization Rules, which are used to reach the final form, the child's pronunciation. An example of the implementation of Realization Rules is informally illustrated in the sample derivation below, where a child consistently produced squat as [gɔp]:
