Study Notes
Multiple Oppositions Approach
- The multiple oppositions approach is a contrastive approach that targets several error sounds that are represented in a collapse of phonemes.
- A collapse of phonemes occurs when a child substitutes one sound for several different target sounds.
- The approach works by contrasting the error sound with several target sounds, creating multiple sets of minimal pairs. This helps the child systematically reorganize their phonological system.
- For example, if a child substitutes [t] for [k, s, ʃ, ʧ], the words two, coo, sue, shoe, and chew, would all be produced as [tu].
- The multiple oppositions approach is an adaptation of minimal pairs, which focuses on word pairs that differ by one phoneme.
Minimal Pairs/Minimal Oppositions Approach
- The minimal pairs approach focuses on the differences in meaning created by different phonemes.
- The approach uses word pairs that differ by one phoneme to highlight the change in meaning caused by the error.
- For example, a child may say [ti] for tea, but also for see, demonstrating a lack of understanding how sounds create meaning.
- The minimal oppositions approach expands on the minimal pairs approach by emphasizing the specific ways in which contrasted word pairs are different.
- The approach considers three key dimensions when choosing word pairs:
- Major class features: Distinguishing between sonorants and obstruents (e.g., /s/ as an obstruent vs. /r/ as a sonorant).
- Nonmajor class features of distinctive features or place-manner-voicing: The number of distinctive features by which two sounds differ (e.g., /k/ and /l/ differ by eight features).
- Phonetic inventory: Whether one or both sounds in the pair are in the child's phonetic inventory.
