A Phonological Study of Child Utterances at the Age of Two
الملخص
This study deals with some phonological processes used by children
speaking Mosuli Arabic at the age of two. These are: consonant harmony,
metathesis substitution, cluster reduction, weak syllable deletion and
reduplication. Children make these processes in order to have easy
pronunciation. The study has shown that consonant harmony occurs in
voicing, place of articulation, manner of articulation and tafxim.
Substitution frequently occurs at the age of two and continues till the age of six. Metathesis also appears in a few number of words at the age of two and
increases between the third and forth years. Reduplication starts with the
first attempts of the child to speak and it gradually increases until it could
hardly be found except in few words. To reduce consonant cluster, the child
deletes the difficult consonant quite similarly as what he does when he
delete the difficult syllable in polysyllabic words.
