- One such study, “Kindersprache, Aphasie und allgemeine Lautgesetze,” by R. Jakobson, Uppsala Universitets Årsskrift (1942) has proved extremely important in the development of a framework for the description of the phonological features of language.
- Studies such as those of W. F. Leopold, Speech Development of a Bilingual Child (1939–1949), Northwestern University Press, Evanston, Ill., 4 vols., furnish a great deal of information about the development of speech in individuals.
- The term ‘present tense morpheme’ here and in the following sections of the paper refers only to the third-person singular form of the present tense. The third-person plural, as well as the first- and second-person forms in this dialect corresponded to those of standard American English.
- R. Jakobson and M. Halle, Fundamentals of Language (Mouton and Co., 'S-Gravenhage, 1956). I am especially indebted to Prof. Halle for his helpful comments during the preparation of this paper.
- It is possible to set the word boundary as a limit for the change because of the occurrence in the corpus of sentences such as (#dae?iy#di?#it#) in which the first stop of each of the first two words is clearly articulated as (d), but in which the second stop of each of these words is replaced by (?). This indicates that the change does not continue beyond word boundaries. If it did, the initial (d) of the second word would be replaced by (?) also.
- It is interesting that the consonants affected by the special rule that converts fricatives to stops are those that are most affected by stuttering in the speech of the oldest child. Apparently, this is also true of the father's speech. This suggests that there is a relationship between the attempts made to correct deviant patterns and the later development of anomalies in speech.
- An exception is found in the case of subordinating conjunctions, as mentioned above.
- The work presented in this paper was completed as part of a study of translation supported in part by the National Science Foundation while the author was a staff member of the Research Laboratory of Electronics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Work in the Research Laboratory of Electronics is supported in part by the U.S. Army (Signal Corps), the U.S. Air Force (Office of Scientific Research, Air Research and Development Command), and the U.S. Navy (Office of Naval Research).
