Abstract

The ‘fis phenomenon’ and similar anecdotal evidence, which appears to give insight into child phonology, and also certain experiments designed to reveal the nature of homonymy in child language, are discussed with reference to an approach which distinguishes between eight different types of possible phonetic episode. It is concluded that the anecdotes and experiments are less instructive than is often supposed.
