Repetition of Final Consonants in the Speech of a Young Child.

Mowrer, Donald E.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v52 n2 p174-78 May 1987

This study of final-consonant repetitions in the speech of a young child supports the notion that some speech disfluencies may result from parental attempts to accelerate phonological development. An analysis of 12 half-hour-long observations over a year is presented and discussed in terms of the home environment. (Author/KM)
