Throughout phonological development, language is acquired
but to learn how it is done, they must make virtuous errors in their
phonological speech. It means that they will make mistakes but they must be completed so that they can learn how to use language 'correctly.'
When a child is at age two and a
half, they can pronounce all of their vowels and two thirds of their
consonants, which then by four they will only have problems with a few consonants.
At the age of 6/7, they will finally be confident in using all vowels and consonants.
The first word that a baby will
say is at between 9-15 months. This can range from different babies depending on their
parents if they notice them say a word and how the parents interpret it.
During development, children may
replace a 'r' for a 'w' which leaves it open. This can go for quite a long time
until they can understand how to pronounce this properly.
- It is harder for a child to say a consonant at the end of the word than at the beginning.
- Replace hard consonants with easier ones. “R” replaced with “W” “T” replaced with “D” “P” replaced with “B”
- Replace consonant blends with a single consonant. Phoneme,"th" is often changed to "d".
- Reduplicate sounds. For example, a child might say "manana" for "banana" because "m" is similar to "n".
- Shorten words of several syllables such as syllables that are unstressed
