Phonological Development from Babbling to Speech: Common Tendencies and Individual Differences.

Vihman, Marilyn May; And Others

Applied Psycholinguistics, v7 n1 p3-40 Mar 1986

Using Locke's 1983 model, analyzes one tendency, consonant use in babbling and early words, and phonological word-selection patterns in 10 children, aged 8 to 16 months. Individual differences were found in all three domains analyzed, with some increase in uniformity across subjects with increasing knowledge of language. (Author/SED)
