Substitution Process
A child pronouncing the word ’rabbit’ as /wæbɪt/ is demonstrating what substitution process
What is gliding?
This process involves the substitution of velar or palatal consonants with alveolar consonants in speech, such as changing "cat" to "tat."
What is fronting?
This process involves omitting an unstressed syllable from a word, often in connected speech
What is weak syllable deletion?
This type of assimilatory process can either be progressive, such as in the case of producing “laugh” as /læs/ or regressive as in the case producing “van” as /zæn/
What is alveolar assimilation?
This term refers to an issue producing a few phonemes may be linked to the motoric aspects of speech production
What is articulation disorder?
The process of substituting a stop constant for a fricative consonant during the pronunciation of a word is known as
What is stopping?
This process affects sounds like /g/ and /k/, often replacing them with the alveolar consonants /d/ and /t/.
What is the effect of fronting on velar consonants?
When this common phrase is spoken quickly, the unstressed "to" is often omitted, transforming "want to" becomes "wanna."
What is weak syllable deletion in the phrase "want to"?
Someone who produces the statement “Please take me home” as /kəliz kek mɛ hom/ is likely displaying this type of assimilation
What is velar assimilation?
This term describes difficulty with sound system of a language, the rules of combining and order of phoneme in words
What is phonological disorder?
The pronunciation of the word 'job' as /ʒɔb/ is an example of what substitution process
What is deaffrication?
When fronting occurs, the word "bag" may be transcribed as this
What is /bæd/?
In rapid speech, the word ‘computer’ may undergo weak syllable deletion and be transcribed to
What is /kəmˈpjuːtər/?
When the consonant can only occur in this position relative to the nucleus of the syllable
What is preceding/Prevocalic voicing assimilation?
This term refers to all and any disorders that involve speech sound production, includes both articulation and phonological disorders
What is speech sound disorder?
The process of substituting a vowel for a post-vocalic /r/ or/l/ during the pronunciation of a word
What is vowelization or vocalization?
This phonological process can result in a palatal /ʃ/ sound being replaced by an alveolar /s/ sound, as in "shoes" becoming "soos”
What is fronting in the word "shoes"?
In rapid speech, the unstressed syllable in the word ‘tomorrow’ is often deleted, resulting in the shortened form
What is ‘morrow’?
In voicing assimilation, devoicing of syllable-final phonemes occur due to this
What is silence or the end of the word?
This process involves deletion of one or more consonants from a cluster
What is cluster reduction?
The typical age in which the substitution process of fronting typically is eliminated
What is 2.5 to 3 years of age?
This phonological process is commonly observed in children acquiring speech, as they may replace velar sounds with alveolar ones, especially during early development
How does fronting relate to speech development in children?
This process is most likely to occur when an unstressed syllable follows a stressed syllable, as in the word "interesting" becoming "intresting."
What is weak syllable deletion in the word "interesting"?
A child who displays consistent labial assimilation would produce this instead of the target utterance “Look! A dog!”
What is /lʊp ^ dɑb/?
These processes are often seen in those with a phonology disorder, not typically seen in speech of typically developing children
What is idiosyncratic process?
