Abstract

The aim of the presented analysis is to show the articulation tendencies of the deformations of the consonant cluster /st/ in the speech of children with specific language impairment (SLI). The research material consisted of 30 words containing the consonant cluster /st/ in three word positions. The study group consisted of eight children (two girls and six boys) diagnosed with SLI aged between 4–5 years. The words were analyzed for the presence of such phonetic and phonological processes as: fortition (strengthening), lenition (weakening), reduction, metathesis, epenthesis, articulation splitting, etc. The article concisely presents the development process of consonant clusters in the ontogenesis of speech.
