Language Acquisition and Categorical Perception with Particular Reference to /r/ and /1/.

Perecman, Ellen; Kellar, Lucia A.

Language Sciences, v5 n1 p97-124 Apr 1983

Examines the relationship between the development of fine motor control for articulation and the development of fine motor control in other muscle systems. Discusses whether the late appearance of /r/ and /1/ is due to the fact that their articulation requires finer motor coordination than other classes of sounds. (EKN)
