Abstract:

This advanced introduction to non-disordered phonological acquisition is the 
first textbook of its kind. Relevant to theoretical, applied and clinical 
phonology, this student-friendly text will enable the reader to enhance their 
observational skills and develop an understanding of the connection between 
child data and phonological theory. The authors provide a clear overview of 
issues in phonological acquisition, investigating child phonological patterns, 
phonological theory, the pre-production stages of phonological acquisition and 
non-grammatical factors affecting acquisition.

Wyn Johnson and Paula Reimers first present a rich set of cross-linguistic 
data calling for phonological analyses before introducing a broad spectrum of 
phonological theory, which ranges from defining what is meant by 
'markedness' to demonstrating how Optimality Theory explains child patterns. 
The question of when acquisition begins in the child also entails an 
investigation of pre-production stages, which casts doubt on the validity of 
phonological theory and necessitates the examination of alternative accounts 
of child patterns. By steering the reader to investigate the extent to which 
theories of speech production can explain recurring sound patterns in child 
language and introducing perceptual aspects of acquisition, this book 
provides readers with a sound understanding of the processes in phonological 
acquisition, essential to students and practitioners.

Data rich - with numerous and cross-linguistic child production data
Theory rich - pre-production stages of acquisition are examined and the book 
remains theory neutral
Student-friendly - includes definitions of phonological terms and concepts
