Pye, Clifton; And Others – Journal of Child Language, 1988
Analysis and comparison of three independent transcriptions of the same speech sample collected from a hearing child with deaf parents resulted in two descriptions of the child's phonological system--one based on a liberal estimate and the other a conservative estimate of the potential error in the transcripts.

Tur-Kaspa, Hana; Dromi, Esther – Volta Review, 1999
A language assessment procedure was used with spontaneous spoken and written language samples of 13 orally trained children with hearing loss in integrated classrooms in two Israeli elementary schools. Results revealed significant differences between spoken and written language samples of these children in various correct syntactic structures,…

Ingram, David; Ingram, Kelly D. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
This article introduces a whole-word approach to phonological analysis and demonstrates the approach by conducting an analysis and outlining treatment recommendations for a child with phonological disability. Rationale for using a whole-word approach and also for defining phonological typologies are presented, along with four components of a…

Barlow, Jessica A. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
A case study of a 3-year-old with a phonological disorder is used to demonstrate the application of optimality theory to the assessment and treatment. A tutorial of the theory is provided and then several prototypical error patterns evident in the child's productions are analyzed within the framework. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)

Barlow, Jessica A. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
This article concludes a forum that considered theoretical and analytical frameworks applied to developing systems in phonological theory and treatment. It discusses the role of complexity in target selection of children with language impairments: error pattern interaction and complexity; complexity, treatment, and constraint demotion; and…

Dinnsen, Daniel A.; O'Connor, Kathleen M. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
This article compares different claims that have been made concerning acquisition by transitional rule-based derivation theories and by optimality theory. Case studies of children with phonological delays are examined. Error patterns are argued to be implicationally related and optimality theory is shown to offer a principled explanation.…

Gierut, Judith A. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
The construct of complexity has been advanced as a variable in the efficacy of treatment for children with functional phonological disorders. This article focuses on clinical complexity as it influences selection of target sounds, with three clinical factors reviewed: consistency of error, normative age of acquisition, and number of errors.…
