This talk will address issues in child language phonology from the perspective of Quantal Feature Theory (Stevens 1972; Stevens & Kaiser 2010). This approach to phonological feature incorporates articulatory and acoustic parameters of speech, whose inter-relations account for both variability within discrete categories as well as boundaries between these categories. From a developmental perspective, this approach also predicts that the learner may miss out, at least temporarily, on either of these dimensions. I provide evidence for this prediction through longitudinal data from Inês, a learner of European Portuguese.

You nourish your soul by fulfilling your destiny, by developing the potential that the soul represents. When you fulfill your soul’s destiny, you will feel “right.” Conversely, when you ignore your soul’s destiny, when you get caught up in your own self-interests and forget to care for others, you will not feel “right.” Instead, you will feel empty and unfulfilled. During these times, you are neglecting your soul–you are depriving it of nourishment. When I talk to people who feel this emptiness and lack of fulfillment, I recommend they find a source of balance in their lives. I suggest they find a way to “give back” to the world in order to feel a sense of completeness.
