OROPEZA ESCOBAR, Minerva. Acquisition of liquid consonants in Mexican Spanish. CPU-e. Rev. Investig. Educ [online]. 2017, n.25, pp.168-196. ISSN 1870-5308.

The acquisition of Spanish liquids is studied in Mexican children between the ages of two and six. Liquids are analyzed both segmentally, and in their interaction with the context in which they occur. Individual differences in the acquisition of liquids are identified, and their motivations discussed. The reanalysis of morphological boundaries and the analogical treatment of phonological sequences are shown to play a role in the distribution of liquids in the child’s input, and to be a source of output-differences between children and adults. These findings are helpful to a better understanding of the atypical language acquisition and logopedia.
