Phonological Acquisition and Dutch Word Prosody.

Lohuis-Weber, Heleen; Zonneveld, Wim

Language Acquisition, v5 n4 p245-83 1996

Presents the results of an investigation into the acquisition of syllable structure and stress by a preschool Dutch child. Shows how the structure of the child's output approaches the adult models in stages and discusses a phenomenon called "mutation," in which all continuants are consistently replaced with "n-" in onsets.
