Sonority and the Acquisition of /S/ Clusters in Children with Phonological Disorders
Yavas, Mehmet
Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, v24 n3 p169-176 2010
The structure of /s/-clusters has been a rather controversial subject due to their structural oddities. Studies on the acquisition of these clusters have contributed to the discussion to validate certain theoretical claims, and sonority-related issues have always been in focus. Cross-linguistic acquisition data from children with phonological disorders can provide further testing ground for several unsettled matters regarding their syllabification. (Contains 4 notes, 3 tables, and 1 figure.)
