abstract = {The current paper describes Spanish acquisition of rhotic onset clusters.
Data are also provided on related singleton taps/trills and /l/ as a single ton and in clusters. Participants included 9 typically developing (TD)
toddlers and 30 TD preschoolers in Chile, and 30 TD preschoolers and
29 with protracted phonological development (PPD) in Granada, Spain.
Results showed age and developmental group effects. Preservation of
cluster timing units preceded segmental accuracy, especially in stressed
syllables. Tap clusters versus singleton trills were variable in order of
mastery, some children mastering clusters first, and others, the trill.
Rhotics were acquired later than /l/. In early development, mismatches
(errors) involved primarily deletion of taps; where substitutions occurred,
[j] frequently replaced tap. In later development, [l] more frequently
replaced tap; where taps did occur, vowel epenthesis sometimes
occurred. The data serve as a criterion reference database for onset cluster
acquisition in Chilean and Granada Spanish.},
