Description

Patterns in Child Phonology provides an advanced introduction to non-disordered phonological acquisition, making it the first textbook of its kind. This student-friendly text enables readers to enhance their observational skills and develop an understanding of the connection between child data and phonological theory.

The book investigates various aspects of phonological acquisition, including child phonological patterns, phonological theory, pre-production stages, and non-grammatical factors affecting acquisition. It presents a rich set of cross-linguistic data and introduces a broad spectrum of phonological theory, covering topics such as markedness and Optimality Theory.

By examining the processes in phonological acquisition, this book provides readers with a sound understanding of child language patterns, essential to students and practitioners. The text remains theory-neutral and includes definitions of phonological terms and concepts to support its comprehensive approach.
