| Research Abstract |
The present study compares infants' functional misarticulation and adults' foreign accent and by pinning down the limit of phonetic deviation it attempts to offer effective treatment/educational programs. Presvious analyses appeal to "input representation," "output representation" and "constraint/rule" which are well-established concepts in phonology, but most of them presuppose a priori that every misarticulator has acquired adult-like inputs and attribute the source of misarticulation only to wrong constraints/rules. Taking non-adult-like inputs into consideration, the present study offers more realistic analysis which can explain a vast variety of misarticulation, which makes more effective treatment/educational programs possible.
