Abstract
20 2- and 3-yr.-old children were given a phoneme perception task in which they were to point to one of two pictures whose labels differed by minimally discriminable phonetic features. Results suggested that picture identification testing can be used successfully to test phoneme perception in Ss as young as 2 yr., that place-of-articulation cues are not difficult for young children to distinguish, and that children's acquisition of expressive phonology must not be wholly dependent on their ability to process phonetic cues from the environment.Keywords
