Brief Summary
|
Understanding phonological development and the sequence of feature acquisition is crucial, especially in identifying early- and later-acquired features. Clinically recognizing error patterns in children with Speech Sound Disorder improves diagnostic accuracy and guides effective intervention. A systematic approach using distinctive feature analysis can enhance generalization and therapy outcomes. However, research from Western contexts cannot be generalized due to language-specific phonological rules. In multilingual settings like India, it is essential to study the distinctive features of regional languages, including Kannada. Future research should explore the broader application of distinctive feature analysis across diverse populations with articulation disorders for more effective outcomes.
Aim and Objective of the study: The study aims to analyse the Distinctive feature of the phonological error patterns in Kannada-speaking children with Speech Sound Disorder. Objectives are to analyze the distinctive features using the standardized list of words in the normal population as well as to analyze and compare the phonological error patterns between typically developing children and children with Speech Sound Disorders |
