Metrical Patterns of Words and Production Accuracy.

Schwartz, Richard G.; Goffman, Lisa

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v38 n4 p876-88 Aug 1995

This study examined the influence of metrical patterns (syllable stress and serial position) of words on the production accuracy of 20 children (ages 22 months to 28 months). Among results were that one-fourth of the initial unstressed syllables were omitted and that consonant omissions, though few, tended to occur in the initial position. (Author/DB)
