Learning Accurate Onset Clusters
This study investigates young school-aged children’s knowledge (at 4–7 years) of accurate English word-initial onset clusters. By this age, we expect children to be mostly accurate in producing #CC clusters (rather than repairing them with deletion or epenthesis). We ask how well can they recognize and reject cluster repair errors, in both real and nonce word tasks. The results suggest that these learners’ cluster judgment skills lag behind their…
Little Linguists
In this paper, we detail a method of introducing linguistics to elementary school students through a day camp model. Our day camps, Little Linguists, teach children about language analysis and exploration through a variety of activities, games, and crafts. The goals of these camps include enriching children's experience with language science, increasing university students' opportunities to share their linguistic knowledge with the community, and…
The effect of allophonic processes on word recognition
Whether lexical representations are stored as abstract forms or exemplar tokens is the focus of much debate in both the phonological and word-recognition literature. This research report examines the recognition of words that have undergone Canadian raising and/or intervocalic flapping. Two eye-tracking experiments suggest that listeners are slower to fixate words that have undergone one or more phonological processes within their own raising dia…
The slow developmental time course of real-time spoken word recognition
This study investigated the developmental time course of spoken word recognition in older children using eye tracking to assess how the real-time processing dynamics of word recognition change over development. We found that 9-year-olds were slower to activate the target words and showed more early competition from competitor words than 16-year-olds; however, both age groups ultimately fixated targets to the same degree. This contrasts with a pri…
On the interaction of deaffrication and consonant harmony
Error patterns in children's phonological development are often described as simplifying processes that can interact with one another with different consequences. Some interactions limit the applicability of an error pattern, and others extend it to more words. Theories predict that error patterns interact to their full potential. While specific interactions have been documented for certain pairs of processes, no developmental study has shown tha…
Voice contrast and culumative faithfulness in Luwanga nouns
Luwanga has a seemingly allophonic surface distribution of voiced and voiceless obstruents. This commonplace distribution typically requires the proposition that segments are specified as either [±voice] underlyingly, with their counterparts derived via phonological rule. Drawing evidence from consonant alternations in Class 9/10 nouns and their derivatives, obstruents contrast for [voice], at least in stem-initial position. Elsewhere, voice is n…
