Résumé

Preliminary results of an on-going research project that aims to investigate the development of pre-vocalic stop categorization in children aged 4 to 9 are presented. The study examines whether there exists age-related perceptual differences in school-aged children and investigates whether developmental differences in phonemic categorization vary as a function of stop place of articulation. A total of 48 children aged 4 to 9 participating in the study were self-reported as normal hearing individuals with no known language, speech, or learning delays. Older children demonstrated a sharper transition between phonemic categories as well as a more precise phonemic boundary location. Linguistic boundary solidification in voice onset time (VOT) perception development is similar to the reported production development sequence, with the phonemic categorization pattern being consistent with the suggested sequence of emergence of these articulators.
