Phonological errors are patterns of sound errors that are rule-based and impact more than one sound. A phonological disorder falls under the umbrella of a ‘speech sound disorder’. A child who has a phonological disorder may consistently exhibit phonological processes in his speech, such as fronting, cluster reduction, stopping, or final consonant d...
It is within the scope of a speech-language pathologist to diagnose a phonological disorder. Often, clinical judgment, along with an assessment, is used. Assessments may be informal or formal. Many standardized assessments are able to provide severity rankings, as well as the overall percentage that a phonological process is exhibited by a student....
Phonological processescan be categorized as: 1. syllable structure processes 2. substitution processes 3. assimilatory processes Syllable structure processesinvolve changes made to the syllable structure. Cluster reduction (i.e. “mile” for “smile”), reduplication (i.e. “wawa” for “water”) , weak syllable deletion (“nana” for “banana”), and final co...
Cluster Reduction
Consonant cluster reduction occurs when a consonant is deleted from a cluster. Often, cluster reduction occurs on l blends, s blends, and r blends. Examples might include “pane” for “plane” or “mile” for “smile”. *When s, l, or r are missing from the cluster, it is called ‘marked cluster reduction’. Click here for cluster reduction minimal pairs.
Reduplication
Reduplicationoccurs when the first syllable of a word is repeated. An example of this might be saying ‘wawa’ for ‘water’. Typically, this process is extinguished by the age of 2 1/2.
Weak Syllable Deletion
Syllable deletion occurs when a syllable is omitted. Weak syllable deletion specifically involves the omission of an unstressed syllable. An example could include saying ‘nana’ for ‘banana’. SLPs will often target marking all syllables in multisyllabic words. Here is an activity that targets syllable deletionfor use in speech therapy.
Consonant Cluster Substitution
This process occurs when one consonant sound in a cluster is substituted for another sound. Examples might include ‘stwing’ for ‘string’, or ‘gween’ for ‘green’. These examples could also be classified as gliding.
Velar Fronting
Velar fronting occurs when a sound made in the “back”, a velar sound (such as k, g, or ng) is replaced with a sound made in the “front” of the mouth, like an alveolar sound. Examples might include “doe” for “go” or “tall” for “call”. Try using these fronting minimal pairsin speech therapy.
Palatal Fronting
Palatal frontingoccurs when a sound made in the back (a palatal sound, ‘sh’) occurs in the front (an alveolar sound, like ‘s’). The tongue should be touching the roof of the mouth, or the palatal area, to make the “sh” sound, but instead touches near the alveolar ridge. Examples might include saying “so” for “show” or “fis” for “fish”.
Labial Assimilation
The phonological process of labial assimilation occurs when a labial sound is changed into a non-labial sound. The non-labial sound is a neighboring sound in the word, and is “influenced” by the labial sound. Labial sounds may include bilabials (p,b,m) and labiodentals (f,v). An example would be “fwim” for “swim”.
Velar Assimilation
Velar assimilation is a phonological process that occurs when a nonvelar sound is influenced, and changed, by a neighboring velar sound. Velar sounds include k, g, and ng. An example of velar assimilation might be saying “kack” for “tack”. The velar /k/ influences the lingua- alveolar sound /t/ in this example.
Nasal Assimilation
Nasal assimilation is a phonological process that occurs when a non-nasal sound is influenced, and changed, by a neighboring nasal sound (m, n, j). For example, saying ‘money’ for ‘funny’ or ‘bunny’.

Keywords: speech errors, language production, methodology, phonotactics, tone, English, Cantonese 1. Introduction The scientific study of speech errors is chock-full of facts of interest to phonologists. That is, when examining sufficiently large collections of speech errors, certain phonological generalizations emerge.
Sep 18, 2024 · Phonological processes are patterns of sound errors that typically developing children use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk. They do this because they don’t have the ability to coordinate the lips, tongue, teeth, palate and jaw for clear speech. As a result they simplify complex words in predictable ways until they develop the ...
Here are some example of typical phonological processes: Cluster Reduction (pot for spot) Reduplication (wawa for water) Weak Syllable Deletion (nana for banana) Final Consonant Deletion (ca for cat) Velar Fronting (/t/ for /k/ and /d/ for /g/) Stopping (replacing long sounds like /s/ with short sounds like /t/)

Oct 31, 2023 · Phonological errors: Phonological errors involve phonological patterns of sound errors that simplify speech sound production, affecting multiple sounds. These errors result from phonological processes, making it challenging for children with phonological disorders to handle more than one sound.

What are articulation and phonological errors?
Articulation disorders focus on errors (e.g., distortions and substitutions) in production of individual speech sounds. Phonological disorders focus on predictable, rule-based errors (e.g., fronting, stopping, and final consonant deletion) that affect more than one sound. It is often difficult to cleanly differentiate between articulation and ...
