本文报道了一项以语音起始时间为衡量标准的美国英语单词首塞音的浊音对比习得的纵向研究。四个单语儿童记录在两个星期的时间间隔，开始时，儿童约1; 6。数据提供了三个一般阶段的证据：（1）儿童没有对比;（2）儿童有对比，但福尔斯落在一个（通常是有声的）音素的成人感知边界内，因此可能无法被成人感知;（3）儿童有一个类似于成人对比的对比。速率和性质的发展过程中进行了讨论有关的两个竞争模型的语音习得和两个假设正在学习的技能。
This paper reports on a longitudinal study of the acquisition of the voicing contrast in American English word-initial stop consonants, as measured by voice onset time. Four monolingual children were recorded at two-week intervals, beginning when the children were about 1; 6. Data provide evidence for three general stages: (1) the child has no contrast; (2) the child has a contrast but one that falls within the adult perceptual boundaries of one (usually voiced) phoneme and thus is presumably not perceptible to adults; and (3) the child has a contrast that resembles the adult contrast. The rate and nature of the developmental process are discussed in relation to two competing models for phonological acquisition and two hypotheses regarding the skills being learned.
