- Language Acquisition
- Babbling
- Stopped sounds - air is momentarily stopped from being released e.g. 'p'
- Reduplication - where the same vowel -consonant combination repeated e.g. mum
- Variegated babbling- same as previous but vowel sound changes
- Consonant cluster - where number of consonants are combines e.g. fr
- Friction sounds - where there is vibration whilst air is released e.g. 's' in pleasure
- Phonological Development
- Addition - when a vowel is added end of word e.g. dog would become dogu
- Assimilation - one consonant in word changes because influence of another e.g. tub becomes bub due to final 'b'
- Reduplication - phoneme repeated e.g. moo,moo (for cow)
- Voicing - consonants such as (p,t,f,s) which don't use vocal chords are replaced with voiced equivalent (b,d,v,z) e.g. instead of saying sock, may say zok
- De-voicing - opposite of voiced, consonants which are said using vocal chords e.g. bag could be pag
- Simplification
- Deletion - child drops consonant altogether, especially at end of word e.g. say 'ca' instead of 'cat'
- Substitution - instead of dropping it, may replace consonant with one easier to say. e.g. 'tup' rather than 'cup'
- Cluster reduction - consonant clusters, child may drop one. e.g. 'geen' instead of 'green'
- Babbling
