Document Summary
Phonological development involves acquiring the rules of language that govern the sound structure of syllables and words. Words that differ by only one phoneme, such as low and roe are call minimal pairs. A phonological representation is a neurological imprint of a phoneme that differentiates it from other phonemes. Phonological development also involves developing sensitivity to the phonatic rules of a pe(cid:396)so(cid:374)"s (cid:374)ati(cid:448)e la(cid:374)guage. Phonological building blocks: phonological development begins immediately after birth as the infant experiences speech in the environment, cue to segment streams of speech. One of the earliest phonological tasks infants face is parsing the streams of speech occurring in the world around them. Infants exhibit the capacity to use specific cue within the speech stream to parse it into smaller units and to separate simultaneously occurring speech streams. When using prosaic cues, infants draw on their familiarity of language to break into the speech stream.
