A phonetic analysis of Latin long vowels is followed by a phonological analysis which asks whether these vowels are phonemes and, if so, what their distinctive features are. (AM)

Presents a "phonetological" approach for the improvement of the phonetic transcription of English, in order to account for certain distinctions in the language not currently rendered due to phonemic influence on phonetic transcription. (AM)

The relationship between intraphonemic perception and identification of distorted /r/ was tested using nine graduate students in speech-language pathology with no known speech or hearing disorders. Laboratory training was found not to improve the identification of distorted /r/. Identification ability was related more to discrimination of /t-d/…

Describes a study designed to determine whether children's conceptualization of the component sounds in words is influenced by knowledge of the words' spelling using real and made-up words. Shows the phonemic segmentation skill may be a consequence of as much as a prerequisite to learning real words. (Author/BK)

Argues that a fast and effective writing system need not stay close to the phonemic detail of speech, and offers shorthand systems as examples of this. Some proposals for spelling reform are briefly evaluated in the light of this evidence. (HOD)

Describes an experiment designed to verify the notion that many slips of the tongue go undetected and demonstrates that phonemic slips of the tongue are perceived less often than nonphonemic slips of the tongue. Findings also indicate that the latter disturb perception of segments in the rest of the sentence more than the former. (Author/MES)

Reports on two studies on the acquisition by children of the voicing contrast in Mexican Spanish word-initial stops. The first was a longitudinal study. One analysis showed children unable to distinguish between voiced-voiceless stop cognate pairs at age 3;10. A spirantization analysis, however, more clearly revealed the children's phonological…

Discusses the difficulties in diagnosing phonetic and phonemic disorders in aphasics. (AM)

Evaluates a phonological awareness program by studying 38 kindergarten children: the experimental class received a Danish training program of metalinguistic games and exercises, and two control classes used either a kindergarten reading/writing program or a normal program. Shows that children in the special programs had greater gains in reading…
