Speech errors in early child language production

摘要: Abstract There has been very little attention paid to nonsystemic errors in child language that closely resemble the speech made by adults. I have collected 576 such course of doing diary studies on my two children. Analyses reveal strong similarities with adult errors, suggesting production system is set up an adult-like fashion from a early age. However, number differences suggest interesting ways which child's differs adults: lower rate decay for activation elements accessed and less interdependence between different phonological word or segment. The data are useful settling some controversies about based error phenomena support predictions recent connectionist models.
