Abstract

This paper examines the phonetic (consonant) inventory of four Australian infants during a six-month longitudinal study before the onset of babbling. By studying the developmental trends associated with the use of laryngeal consonants it shows that these articulations decrease in proportion across the course of the study as the infants gradually learn the sound patterns of Australian English and demonstrate the ability (cognitive and muscular co-ordination) to experiment with more oral articulations. In addition, other areas of laryngeal function such as voicing show developmental patterns that when combined with the consonant repertoire provide a broader picture of laryngeal use in infant vocalisations.
