Vowel Categorization Skill and Its Relationship to Early Literacy Skills among First-Grade Quebec-French Children.
Caravolas, Marketa; Bruck, Maggie
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v76 n3 p190-221 Jul 2000
Examined ability of Quebec French-speaking first graders to categorize words on the basis of vowel categories. Found that ability to categorize vowels does not develop uniformly but is affected by degree of spectral/articulatory proximity between vowels, by syllable structure, and potentially by characteristics of the input phonology.
