| description | This study investigated the nature and acquisition of long consonants in Norwegian. By age 2;6 children already differentiate between [V:C] vs [VC:] structures in their own productions and, as with adults, do so most reliably through proportion of vowel duration in the rhyme (V/VC), the only systematic marker of the contrast. For both adults and children, the contrastiveness of vowel and consonant durations in themselves varies according to consonant manner: in sonorants both V and C duration are also contrastive, while in voiceless stops, consonant duration in itself is not contrastive. Evidence is also found for preaspiration as a possible secondary cue to long stops, and is present from the earliest stages of child speech investigated. By age 6, increasing speed and fluency in global intergestural coordination may undermine local temporal relationships already acquired at a slower speech rate, bringing about a transitional stage of apparent regression in development. |
