Abstract
Most processes in child phonology have as their domain a single word or a smaller chunk of phonological material. Processes that involve the interaction of two or more words have never been examined. In a diary study of the speech of one child acquiring English, there were eight between-word processes. All were optional and occurred in fairly restricted environments. Most of the processes were of short duration. Consequences for the study of child phonology are discussed.Keywords
