Phonetic Inventories of 2- and 3-Year-Old Children

Abstract
This report provides quasi-longitudinal independent analysis data on two groups of 10 children at 2:0 (years:months), 2:5, 2:9, and 3:3. The analysis included word-initial and word-final phonetic inventories of consonant singletons and clusters and a summary of the relative frequency of seven word shapes. The results indicated that these children were gradually "filling in the gaps" with sounds previously reported to be lacking in slightly younger children.
