This study investigates Greek /spɾ, stɾ, skl/, comparing them with related 2-member clusters (/st, sp, sk, pɾ, tɾ, kl/) to disentangle developmental paths. Data were collected from 161 monolingual Greek children aged 2;0-6;0 using the PAel picture-naming task targeting word-initial clusters. Results reveal cluster-specific distributions across four overlapping stages (Ø, C, CC, CCC), shaped by markedness, sonority, and Greek phonotactics. Entropy analyses show high variability until age 4;0, followed by increasing stability. /spɾ/ achieves earlier 3-member production; /stɾ/ develops more gradually with greater variability; /skl/ emerges later but progresses rapidly. Comparisons indicate unique developmental paths of /sCC/ acquisition rather than a simple extension of /sC/ mastery. These findings refine theoretical models, provide clinical benchmarks for identifying delay, and highlight entropy as a sensitive measure of phonological stabilisation.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148892568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At school, children build relationships over time through successful interactions with their peers and teachers. A pervasive social action, registering (drawing mutual attention to a publicly perceptible referent), is a documented means of initiating interaction and building affiliation in childhood. This study uses conversation analysis to examine how children (aged 5-12) with a communication disability respond to registering in 5.6 hours of audiovisual recordings at an Australian English‑speaking special education primary school. 'Reciprocal registering' was identified as a recurring form of response. Reciprocal registering accomplished alignment and affiliation. In some interactions, however, moments of 'self-orientation' affected alignment and affiliation. This study contributes to our understanding of how children with a communication disability conduct social interactions with their peers in discrete social action sequences. The findings of this study demonstrate that professional understandings of communicative competence should reflect the dynamics and pressures of interaction and suggest a role for notions of agency in informing them.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148819942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigated whether token-to-token speech inconsistency differentiates dialectal Cypriot-Greek-speaking children with typical development (TD) from peers with SSD. Twenty preschoolers (mean age = 5;6) participated: 10 with TD and 10 with SSD. Speech inconsistency was assessed using the DO.KI.GLO Inconsistency Protocol, a Cypriot-Greek adaptation of the DEAP inconsistency subtest, eliciting three productions of 25 familiar lexical items. Inconsistency was operationalised as phonological variation across repeated tokens and quantified using an Inconsistency Index. Results revealed a substantial group difference: children with SSD produced significantly higher inconsistency scores than TD peers (71.3% vs. 2.3%), with a large effect size. Nine of ten children in the SSD group exceeded the 40% threshold associated with Inconsistent Phonological Disorder. Qualitative analyses further differentiated groups, with TD variability reflecting predictable developmental substitutions, while SSD variability involved multi-feature, unpredictable substitutions, omissions, and distortions. These preliminary findings provide initial evidence supporting the clinical relevance of speech inconsistency in a dialectal context and highlight the importance of combining quantitative and qualitative analyses within culturally and linguistically sensitive assessment protocols for accurate SSD identification and subtyping.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148814725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a nonlinear phonological framework, performance was analysed through segmental accuracy (percentage of consonants correct, PCC) and whole-word measures, including phonological mean length of utterance (pMLU), proportion of whole-word proximity (PWP), whole-word accuracy (WWA), and correct syllables and consonants (CSC), alongside structural indices and phonological process analysis (SODA). Results showed that multisyllabic words were more vulnerable to prosodic and structural constraints than monosyllabic words, despite stable segmental accuracy (PCC > 90%). Omission, substitution, and cluster reduction predominated, indicating structural and prosodic challenges rather than articulatory imprecision. Whole-word and prosodic measures captured variability not reflected in PCC, demonstrating that multisyllabic analysis within a nonlinear framework provides a more sensitive and ecologically valid index of phonological organisation in Persian-speaking children with SCD.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148809390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standard SALT protocols, designed for monolingual English speakers, risk misrepresenting bilingual children's language skills by failing to account for cross-linguistic transfer. This study proposed a customised coding protocol to capture cross-linguistic transfer patterns and compared outcomes across typically developing (TD) children and those with developmental language disorder (DLD). Findings revealed that standard SALT coding significantly overestimated grammatical errors 20%-30% compared to the adapted protocol. While overall cross-linguistic transfer patterns did not differ between TD and DLD groups, differences in transfer types were observed. These results underscore the importance of culturally responsive adaptations to computerised language sample analysis and offer a framework for extending SALT to underrepresented bilingual populations. As such, this study highlights the diagnostic potential of adapted coding and the need for refined grammaticality norms in bilingual assessment.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148809424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The workflow decomposed extIPA chart metalanguage into 78 conceptual units, yielding 624 target-language string instances, coordinated through a translation management environment and reinserted into fixed-layout chart outputs.

Understanding how the Child-Directed Speech (CDS) adapts to these developmental trajectories is crucial for early intervention. This longitudinal study mapped the evolution of CDS addressed to 16 children with SCTs from 8 to 24 months of age. Results revealed significant changes. Structurally, the input transitioned in line with typical development, showing significant increases in lexical variety and syntactic complexity. Functionally, mothers transitioned from a more affective/attention-getting speech to a higher proportion of informative utterances. Prosodically, features associated with attention-driven communication decreased by 24 months. These findings suggest that the changes in CDS are driven primarily by the child's emerging communicative competence, rather than being constrained by the genetic diagnosis.
