| Summary: | This paper examines how young children negotiate complex mappings between phonological structure and durational cues in their early productions, and explores how competition between multiple uses of temporal properties may influence the acquisition pathway. Findings suggest children switch priorities as they develop, possibly as a result of mastering a more complete range of phonetic devices. |
