- On the role of syllable structure in atypical phonological development: Evidence from the acquisition of /l/ by Portuguese childrenby Jéssica Gomes on May 16, 2024
The alveolar lateral is phonetically and phonologically complex. Previous studies have shown that /l/ is one of the last segments to be acquired by typically developing Portuguese children. However, little is known about how Portuguese children with atypical development acquire /l/. In this paper, we investigate the acquisition of /l/ by Portuguese children with protracted phonological development (DLD; SSD). We explore the effect of syllable structure and segmental properties in the acquisition...
- Impaired speech input and output processing abilities in children with cleft palate speech disorderby Linrui Yang on May 10, 2024
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Compared with normal controls, children with CPSD have deficits in both speech input and output processing, and there is a strong correlation between speech input and output speech processing abilities. In addition, the pseudo words task was more challenging than the real word task for both groups.

Future investigations of objective measures for identifying Cantonese speakers with CAS and cross-linguistic investigations using growth curve analysis and the TST are suggested.
