Munson, Benjamin; Logerquist, Mara K.; Kim, Hyuna; Martell, Alisha; Edwards, Jan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: We evaluated whether children whose inaccurate /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ productions showed evidence phonetic differentiation with /w/ at 3.5-4.5 years of age improved in /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ production over the next year more than children whose inaccurate productions did not show evidence of such differentiation.

Difficulties in interpreting and implementing unfamiliar phonetic variation can lead nonnative speakers to modify second language forms by vowel epenthesis and other changes. These…
