Developmental Norms

Final Consonant Deletion Fronting (Palatal) Cluster Reduction

Fronting (Velar) Postvocalic Devoicing Stopping

Prevocalic Voicing Deaffrication Gliding

Syllable Reduction Vocalization

Phonological Process Definitions

Final Consonant Deletion: Omitting a consonant in the final word position, ex. “bay” for “bake”

Fronting: Replacing a back consonant with a consonant made more towards the front of the mouth,

ex. Velar: “tat” for “cat”, Palatal ex. “det” for “get”

Prevocalic Voicing: When an unvoiced consonant preceding the vowel of a syllable is voiced, ex. “gup” for “cup”

Postvocalic Devoicing: When a syllable-final voiced phoneme that precedes a pause or silence between words is unvoiced, ex. “bad” pronounced as “bat”

Deaffrication: The substitution of a fricative (/sh, s, z/) for an affricate (/ch, J/), ex. “sin” for “chin”

Syllable Reduction: Omission of one or more syllables in a multisyllabic word, ex. “butterfly” becomes “bufly”

Cluster Reduction: Omitting one or more consonants in a consonant cluster, ex. “pay” for “play”

Stopping: the substitution of a /t, d, p, b, k, or g/ for /s, z, sh, f, v, or th/, ex. “zipper” becomes “dipper”

Gliding: replacing the consonants /l/ and /r/ with /w/ and /j/, ex. “rabbit” becomes “wabbit”

Vocalization: The substitution of a vowel for an /l/ or /r/ that follows a vowel, ex. “water” becomes “wato”
