The paper examines the realization of consonant clusters in prosodically faithful forms in
Greek L1. Longitudinal naturalistic data reveal that children tend to simplify clusters to either
the unmarked or to the initial member of the cluster. Apart from being simplified, clusters
begin being faithfully realized by the age of 1; 10. The aim here is to demonstrate that child
language variation is not random but depends on phonological principles and is attributed to
the activation of multiple parallel grammars during the acquisition process.
Abstract
The paper examines the realization of consonant clusters in prosodically faithful forms in Greek L1. Longitudinal naturalistic data reveal that children tend to simplify clusters to either the unmarked or to the initial member of the cluster. Apart from being simplified, clusters begin being faithfully realized by the age of 1; 10. The aim here is to demonstrate that child language variation is not random but depends on phonological principles and is attributed to the activation of multiple parallel grammars during the acquisition process.
