Individual Variation and Its Relevance to a Theory of Phonological Acquisition.

Goad, Heather; Ingram, David

Journal of Child Language, v14 n3 p419-32 Oct 1987

Research on child language acquisition should distinguish between different possible causes of variation and not just attribute variation to individual variation. An alternative analysis using a different methodology can show that children's patterns of acquisition are actually relatively similar. (Author/CB)
