English V-schwa alternations in children's speech

[huberpak at gmail.com]

Hi,
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: 

Edison is [i]llergic to eggs. 
I don't want a el[o]phant. 

Does anyone know of previous work on this? Any information, references, 
observations, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks -

Marjorie
