This outstanding 2004 volume presents an overview of linguistic
research into the acquisition of phonology. Bringing together
well-known researchers in the field, it focuses on constraints in
phonological acquisition (as opposed to rules), and offers concrete
examples of the formalization of phonological development in terms
of constraint ranking. The first two chapters situate the research
in its broader context, with an introduction by the editors
providing a brief general tutorial on Optimality Theory. Chapter
two serves to highlight the history of constraints in studies of
phonological development, which predates their current ascent to
prominence in phonological theory. The remaining chapters address a
number of partially overlapping themes: the study of child
production data in terms of constraints, learnability issues,
perceptual development and its relation to the development of
production, and second-language acquisition.
