The goal of the present article is to describe the acquisition of the phonetic details and phonological categories of stop consonants in French. To this end, the stop consonants produced by children aged 2-4 years were transcribed and acoustically analysed. Stop consonants provide an interesting window in phonetic and phonological development since they are among the first phonemes to be acquired in French (MacLeod, Sutton, Thordardottir & Trudeau, 2011), yet the mastery of the phonetic detail of these phonemes can be more drawn out (Allen, 1985). The results of the study indicate that these children are producing significant voicing contrasts between homorganic stops using voice onset time, but at the phonetic level their productions are not yet within adult ranges.
本文的目的是描述法语中塞音的语音细节和音系范畴的习得情况。为此，对2至4岁儿童发出的塞音进行了转录和声学分析。塞音为语音和音系发展提供了一个有趣的窗口，因为它们是法语中最早习得的音素之一（麦克劳德、萨顿、索尔达多蒂尔和特鲁多，2011），然而这些音素的语音细节掌握起来可能需要更长时间（艾伦，1985）。研究结果表明，这些儿童在使用嗓音起始时间方面，在同部位塞音之间产生了显著的浊音对比，但在语音层面上，他们的发音尚未达到成人的范围。
