title: The structure of segmental errors in the speech of deaf children.
abstract: A quantitative description of the segmental errors occurring in the speech of deaf children is developed. The method of description separates out those errors or characteristics that are common to all deaf speakers from those that are common to different subpopulations of the deaf (e.g., severely versus profoundly hearing impaired) from those errors or characteristics that are unique to individual speakers. Using this technique, the pattern of segmental errors is specified for several groups of children including deaf children at a school for the deaf as well as hearing-impaired children who have been mainstreamed into the regular school system.
