The relatedness of phonological processes of a hearing-impaired child

Abstract

This is a study, in the generative framework, of the phonology of a 6-year-old, hard-of-hearing child. The study has two main results: (1) the phonological substitutions and deletions of this hearing-impaired child are basically the same in kind as those found in the speech of younger normals and (2) the phonological processes of the child's system fit into groups of processes, each group operationalizing some phonetic preference of the child. Implications for a general theory of phonological acquisition are discussed. © 1978.
