婴儿语音发展研究

本文观察一名女婴的语音发展 ,提供一例比较完整的婴儿语音个案材料。该婴儿的语音发展从 39日龄自控音出现到 13月龄沉默期可分 4个阶段 :第一阶段有各类舌面元音和舌面中、舌面后辅音 ;第二阶段发展出唇音和舌面前音 ,偶见舌尖音 ;第三阶段婴儿母语的各种元音和辅音基本完备 ,逐渐为掌握母语的语音体系做好了发音准备 ;最后一个阶段主要是语音知觉的进步。各类语音发生的顺序与国内学者的研究大体一致

A Study of the Development of an Infant''''s Speech Sound

The writers of the present paper took a girl as the sample to observe the development of her speech sound, and hence, provided a quite complete set of data based on this case study. The development of the infant's speech sound can be divided into four stages, from articulation of self-controlled sound at the age of 39 days old to the age of 13 months old. The first stage embodies palatal vowels and central palatal and back palatal consonants. The second stage produces velar and labial consonants. Sounds related to the tip of tongue occur occasionally. The third stage includes the development of all kinds of vowels and consonants in the infant's mother tongue. Now, she is ready to learn the pronunciation of her mother tongue. The last stage involves mainly the development of consciousness in speech sound. The sequence of the development of various speech sound is quite coincided with the views held by the academic scholars at home.
