6. consonant-vowel(English)

   • analysis of intrasyllabic patterns within word forms containing consonant repetitions reveals that consonant repetitions in many early words occurred at above-chance levels in the context of articulatorily compatible vowels. Results suggest that children's production system capacities are an important contributing principle accounting for vowel context effects within word forms containing consonant repetitions during earliest speech acquisition
