Abstract
Accuracy rates and error patterns inform our understanding of syllable structure in children with phonological disorder. To better understand word-final syllable structure in children with phonological disorder, this study examines percent accuracy and error patterns of word-final singleton consonants and consonant clusters in 280 monolingual English-speaking children with phonological disorder (aged 3;0–7;0) from the Developmental Phonologies Archive (Gierut, 2015) to develop a hierarchy of relative difficulty and typology of error patterns for word-final consonants and clusters. Results indicate low word-final accuracy across participants, a hierarchy of word-final singleton and cluster difficulty, and distinctive error patterns. These findings are discussed in terms of word-final syllable structure in developing and disordered systems and implications for word-final treatment target selection.
