Abstract This paper investigates place of articulation shifts involving heterosyllabic C [non-coronal] [coronal] clusters. Such phenomena are found, among other languages, in the diachrony Italiot Greek, where three typologically different historical stages observed: (a) no shifts; (b) dorsal > labial shift; (c) dorsal, coronal shift. Drawing on Rice's (1994) model Place node and markedness ...

Of the numerous variables which have been theoretically related tofunctional articulation disorders, speech sound discrimination (SSD) has received the most research and clinical attention. However, the majority of these investigations were done with children below age 7 while articulation therapy is generally consideredfor school-aged children. The present study investigated the possibility th...

Since the phonological revolution in the 1970s, SLTs have embraced phonological intervention when dealing with speech sound disorders (SSDs) and largely turned their backs on articulatory approaches. Joffe and Pring (2008) surveyed 98 clinicians working with children with speech difficulties and found the most common approaches used with this client group were auditory discrimination, minimal p...

Multiple factors contribute to individual differences in reading ability. The two most thoroughly examined are socioeconomic status (SES) and phonological awareness (PA). Although these factors are often investigated individually, they are rarely considered together. Here we propose that SES systematically influences the relationship between PA and reading ability, and test this prediction in 1...

HIGHLIGHTS Degree of lateralization for grasping predicts the maturity of the language production system in young, typically-developing children. In this report we provide compelling evidence for the relationship between right hand grasp-to-mouth (i.e., feeding) movements and language development. Specifically, we show that children (4-5 years old) who are more right-hand lateralized in picking...

The present study investigated the effects of lexical age of acquisition (AoA), phonological complexity, age and expressive vocabulary on spoken word variability and accuracy in typically developing infants, aged 1;9-3;1. It was hypothesized that later-acquired words and those with more complex speech sounds would be produced more variably and less accurately than earlier-acquired words and tho...

A fundamental problem in spoken language is the duality between the continuous aspects of phonetic performance and the discrete aspects of phonological competence. We study two instances of this problem from the phenomenon of voicing neutralization and vowel harmony. In each case, we present a model where the experimentally observed continuous distinctions are linked to the discreteness of phon...
