Abstract

Children's speech development goes through stages of phonological development. In the development are important phonological processes like plosive reduction, plosive deterioration, cluster reduction, idiosyncretic processes, metathesis, epenthesis, stopping, affrication, frication, gliding, anteriorization, posteriorization, desonorization, sonorization and palatalization. Till now, in Slovenia, there was no such research about occurance of phonological processes and their interaction. In my dissertation I deal with that. My dissertation is based on test, that was made in internation project Cross-Linguistic study of proctracted phonological (speech) development in children. In that project we analised children's speech of three different ages (the youngest from 3,5 to 4,5 years, middle from 4,6 to 5,5 years and the oldest from 5,6 to 6,5 years). We also determined phonological processes at those stages. For the sample we chose children from childhood Litija. I was interested in phonem realization, their development and difference in number and form of all phonological processes at children of different age. I was also determined which consonent clusters are making the biggest problems to children.
