Abstract

In seminal work on child phonology in the 1970s, David Ingram documented how phonological impairment in children manifests as a series of pattern-based errors (otherwise known as phonological rules or phonological processes). Although similar types of error patterns are observed across children (e.g. fricatives being replaced by plosives), not all children present with the same constellation of patterns. Rather, children are observed to have pattern-based errors impacting phonemes (including one or more classes of phonemes), phonotactics (e.g. syllable and word shapes) and/or prosodic characteristics (e.g. lexical stress) (e.g. Ingram, 1974a, 1974b, 1976; Ingram et al., 1980). In addition, Ingram identified that these patterns occur across languages (Ingram, 2004, 2008, 2012). Published case studies of children with phonological impairment provide helpful illustrations of the diversity of difficulties that children can have when learning the phonological system of their ambient language.
