Phonological Analysis
prepare a phonological analysis of Charlie’s word-initial consonants using Ingram’s method of phonetic
inventories and phonological contrasts (pp. 203-210). You can hear an mp3 sample of this recording. Your analysis should contain four
sections:
1. An abbreviated phonological lexicon (~Table 6.27, p. 204) 4 points
2. Charlie’s phonetic inventory (~6. 12, p. 206) 5 points
3. A substitution analysis (~6. 13, p. 206) 4 points
4. Charlie’s phonological system (~6. 14, p. 207) 5 points
709 students (and 425 students who want extra credit) should discuss Charlie’s word-initial consonant system (from #4) in relation to
Jakobson’s theory of phonological acquisition. Which aspects of Charlie’s consonant system support or contradict J akobson’s theory, and why?
