Acquisition of Correct Vowel Production: A Quantitative Case Study.

Davis, Barbara L.; MacNeilage, Peter F.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n1 p16-27 Mar 1990

Vowel production of a 14-month-old girl was studied over a 6-month period. Sixty percent of the vowels were produced correctly. A complex pattern of vowel preferences and errors was partially related to prespeech babbling preferences and strongly related to word structure variables (monosyllabic versus disyllabic).
