Temporal Constraints on Consonant Clusters in Child Speech Production

Gilbert, John H. V.; Purves, Barbara A.

Journal of Child Language, 4, 3, 417-32, Oct 77

The present investigation examines three hypotheses concerning the development of temporal coordination of consonant clusters in the speech of children at four age levels. Results reveal that five and seven-year-olds can be separated from older children and adults on the basis of absolute duration of consonants. (CHK)
