Syllable Omission by Two-Year-Old Children.

Levey, Sandra; Schwartz, Richard G.

Communication Disorders Quarterly, v23 n4 p169-77 Sum 2002

A study examined the ability of 10 two-year-olds to produce minimal pairs of novel trisyllabic words with primary stress on the first or second syllables. The syllables contained dissimilar or similar vowel contrasts to determine if segments affected omission. Omission was more frequent for the first syllable of weak-strong-weak word pairs.
