Context-Sensitive Underspecification and the Acquisition of Phonemic Contrasts.
Dinnsen, Daniel A.
Journal of Child Language, v23 n1 p57-79 Feb 1996
Evaluates competing proposals for the underspecification of phonological representations against the facts of phonemic acquisition. Results indicate that context-sensitive radical underspecification provides a plausible account of each developmental stage and the transition between stages with minimal grammar change.
