Phonological development

Aims

This module provides an overview of phonetic and phonological development, with an emphasis on the first two years of life. Through a combination of lectures, reading and practical sessions the student becomes acquainted with the findings of  both observational and experimental studies of infant speech perception and production and the transition from babbling to speech. We also consider data from late talkers, viewed from the point of view of phonological learning, and we look at phonological advances at age 3-4. Some of the main theoretical approaches to phonological development are considered.

This module will be capped at 30.
