“…This suggests a fundamental restructuring of Leo's stress production at this stage. Possibly it reflects a restructuring of the underlying metrical form from a single foot to two feet with quantity sensitivity, as described for the development of word stress by Fikkert (1994) and Fikkert et al (1998). This hypothesis will have to be substantiated in future research by a full-fledged analysis where the stress patterns of multi-syllabic words are compared to those in word combinations.…”

A B S T R A C TSeveral descriptions of the transition from single to multiword utterances use prosody as an important diagnostic criterion. For example, in contrast to successive single-word utterances, 'real' two-word utterances are supposed to be characterized by a unifying intonation contour and a lack of an intervening pause. Research on the acquisition of prosody, however, revealed that control of the phonetic parameters pitch, loudness, and duration is far from complete at such an early stage. In this study, we examine the interaction between the development of different types of syntactic structures and their prosodic organization. Data from a detailed production record of a monolingual German-learning boy is analysed both auditorily and acoustically with a focus on four different types of two-word utterances produced between 2; 0 and 2; 3. Two major findings are reported here. First, the different types of two-word utterances undergo individual trajectories of prosodic (re-)organization, in part depending on the time course in which they become productive. This suggests that different types of [*] The data collection and research was carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, which also provided a stimulating environment for working on our ideas. We are grateful to several transcribers, most notably Solvejg Kü hnert, Jana Jurkat, and Susanne Mauritz for their indispensable groundwork in transcribing the data, and to Anne Alexander for her help in the acoustic analyses of a part of the data. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the continuous good spirit of Leo and his parents. We would like to thank the audience at the International Association for Child Language (IASCL) in Madison/Wisconsin, July 2002 for their helpful comments and suggestions.

“…the child does not differentiate between primary and secondary stress (e.g. Fikkert, 1994 ;Archibald, 1995;Fikkert, Penner & Wyman, 1998). From about 2 ; 3 on word-stress patterns such as strong-weak-strong-weak are produced correctly with primary stress on one foot and secondary stress on the other as in ' kinder,garden (Fikkert et al, 1998).…”

“…As a result, this version of the length-based approach became part of the generative mainstream in the 1980s and 90s, figuring in, among others, Van der Hulst (1984), Trommelen & Zonneveld (1989), Kager (1989), Fikkert (1994), and Booij (1995). The autosegmental length theory is not without problems, however.…”

“…By comparison, until recently, fewer resources for shared databases and data analysis were available to the field of phonological acquisition. Early systems, each of which was capable of both independent and relational analyses in some fashion, include two small-scale programs coincidentally (although not surprisingly) called ChildPhon (Fikkert, 1994; Levelt, 1994; Freitas, 1997; Rose 2000) as well as more specialised applications such as LIPP (Logical International Phonetics Program; Oller & Delgado 1990), PEPPER (Program to Examine Phonetic and Phonological Evaluation Records; Shriberg, 1986), PROPH+ (Long, Fey, & Channell, 2006), and CAPES (Computerised Articulation and Phonology Evaluation System; Masterson & Bernhardt, 2001), the latter two developed more specifically for clinical purposes and related research. These early programs offered basic templates for textual (orthographic and phonetic transcriptions) annotations as well as functions for data query and reporting.…”

“…Data were gathered in an effort to observe and document patterns of early speech and language development, often in relation to the development of the child’s lexicon, and to explore the notion of universal patterns of acquisition using cross-linguistic data (e.g. Stampe, 1969; Smith, 1973; Ferguson & Farwell, 1975; Macken, 1979; Stoel-Gammon & Cooper 1984; Fikkert, 1994; Levelt, 1994; see Bernhardt & Stemberger, 1998 for a summary of this early literature).…”

The goal of this paper is to present an overview of new tools that can be used to further our understanding of phonological development and disorders. We begin with a summary of the field of child phonology with a focus on databases and methods of analysis and then move to a description of PhonBank, a shared database for the study of phonology, and Phon, a specialised software system capable of performing various types of phonological analyses based on both phonetic transcriptions and acoustic analyses of speech productions. We provide a detailed example of using PhonBank and Phon to examine the use of velar fronting using longitudinal data from one child with typical development and three children with phonological disorder. We conclude with an emphasis on data sharing and its central relevance to further advances in our field.
