Abstract:

This thesis is about the development and maturation of the child speech
production mechanism, studied from the perspective of a psycholinguistic
speech-production model. Toddlers’ word productions often deviate from adult
targets and the central idea in this thesis is that such deviations result
from a particular developmental state.

The study focuses on the development of word-onset consonant clusters, in
children between 12 and 30 months old, acquiring Dutch as their first
language. Word-onset clusters are known to be subject to simplification during
acquisition, but the studies reported here demonstrate a more complex range of
developmental possibilities. Some concrete results showed that reduced onset
clusters systematically contain an acoustic trace in the subsequent vowel and
that the development of /Cr/ words undergoes seven stages from /CV/ to /CCV/.

To study this phenomenon, both longitudinal and experimental data are used,
the experiments comprise both production and perception. Phonological analyses
are combined with acoustic analyses. The speech production mechanism appears
to develop in a top-down manner. The main error source for onset cluster
productions is initially formed by incomplete segmental representations; with
complete specifications, syllable spell-out at the phonological encoding level
forms the main error locus. Phonetic encoding errors are the most persistent.
Variable word forms are a hallmark of early child language; they reveal newly
developed abilities and the relative instability of a new developmental state
of the speech production mechanism.
