Acoustic Characteristics of Rhotic Vowel Productions of Young Children

Abstract: Aims: This study examined the acoustic characteristics of perceptually acceptable rhotic vowels produced by young children with and without speech sound disorders (SSDs). Productions were analyzed in relation to the overall rhotic proficiency level of each child, as determined by rhotic vowel and consonant accuracy. The effect of the surrounding phonetic contexts on acoustic realization of rhotic vowels was also examined. Methods: Participants included 18 children aged 2–6 years with and without SSD, grouped b… Show more

“…Chung and Pollock (2014) report that monophthongs have more robust cues for rhoticity in their formant patterns, namely a smaller F3-F2 distance, than diphthongs. This indicates that the cues for rhoticity are more prominent or salient in monophthongs (Chung and Pollock 2021). As mentioned, not only NURSE but also LETTER words contain a monophthong, and coming back to Table 2, we see that the latter type of words fall within the next tier of rhoticity rate after NURSE words.…”
