IntroductionThis research aims to analyze the transcription of a child's speech. The targeted child is a female named Majorie who is 2 years and 3 months old. The transcript comes from the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology. The linguistic aspects that will be examined are the child's phonological processes including pronunciation errors, the shapes of the syllables and his phonetic inventory consisting of manner and place of articulation. His stage and development of lexical knowledge and the words he uses will be included in the analysis. Phonological processes The child appears to conform to the normal development demonstrated by other children of his age. According to Carol Stoel-Gammon (1987), 24-month-olds should be able to make the /b/ sound in initial position just as the baby does in utterance 6 (p.327). It can also make the /n/ sound in final position. See the expression 39.6 here in bed .39 change mine, okay? One mistake he makes, however, is stopping. It takes what would normally be fricatives and turns them into stops. For example,2 from [: the] sad boy and from [: the] crying boy .69 dza [: the] crying boy. She also shows signs of chain shifts. In the examples above, swap the fricative “th” in “the” with a stop like “da.” Other times, the child pronounces “the” correctly.29 Where are the dogs?62 I close the door with the boy. The child presents an error called deletion of the final consonant. Instead of saying the whole word to the end, drop the last consonant. This is seen in expression 1 and 72.1 I want a pen an a book72 a circle a Oma an(d) Opa. The “d” is missing in both words in bold. He has difficulty with the "d" in the center of the paper... as if the harmony of the consonants could change the word making it incomprehensible. The CVC syllable form was the most common for her. This form is general in many English nouns. The syllables do not become complex and long, but he is still young and learning. His phonetic inventory is well developed. It has no problem creating age-appropriate speech sounds. The child is just above the norm because he can produce more adult-like sounds than his peers. He has control over his articulators and knows how to manipulate his oral cavity to produce the correct sounds. The child's lexical inventory is well developed. He has no problem finding the words to express his thoughts. Not many words are repeated and this shows that he has a large vocabulary so he does not need to borrow words. He neither exaggerates nor underextends the use of his words.
