<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi,<br>I've noticed some interesting 'hypercorrection'-type 
errors, both in my own kid's speech and in the CHILDES corpora, with 
English V~schwa alternations. Examples: <br><br>Edison is [i]llergic to eggs. <br>I don't want a el[o]phant. <br><br></div>Does anyone know of previous work on this? Any information, references, observations, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks -<br><br></div>Marjorie<br><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
