title: /s/ plus stop clusters in children's speech.
abstract: Young children frequently substitute stops for fricative-stop clusters. In this paper, we report acoustic measurements for children's intended voiced and voiceless stops, and for stops substituting for clusters. Judging from voice-onset time measurements, children employ various strategies for assigning phonological status to the substituted stops.
