| Research Abstract |
The present research project attempts to shed light on parallelism between phonological acquisition of both normally developing children and children with functional speech disorders and between phonological loss typically observed in aphasics. Because the number of aphasics suffering pure phonological loss was very small, if at al, the sufficient comparison was not possible. However, I did find out quite a few interesting aspects in acquisition both segmental and prosodic. These results are reported in research papers and at international conferences. In particular, I did an in-depth research on the order of segmental acquisition, which is the most fruitful result sprouted from this research project. Also, this project produced a by-product. Based on the results of a series of studies of this project, I coauthored a chapter entitled "Japanese speech acquisition" for a handbook-type volume named International Guide to Speech Acquisition, which enables its readers to gain a 'bird-eye view" of the phonological acquisition and disorders of Japanese-speaking children.
