Tomes, Lucrezia; Shelton, Ralph L.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v32 n2 p432-38 Jun 1989

The ability of 10 normal-speaking 5-year-olds and 10-normal-speaking 7-year-olds to categorize consonants as "dripping" (stop), "flowing" (fricative), "tongue" (lingual place of articulation), "or "lip" (labial place of articulation) was evaluated. Children's ability to categorize was evaluated as an indicator of their awareness of feature characteristics of consonants. (Author/DB)
