Gallagher, Tanya M.

Journal of Phonetics, 3, 1, 35-40, Jan 75

This is a report on an investigation of the correct production of /s/ in spontaneous speech of children. A greater incidence of incorrect production was found for pre-boundary /s/ than for /s/ in other lexical positions. Lexical position is related to articulatory inconsistencies in child speech. (SC)
