Abstract

Given the complex nature of Branching Onsets and heterosyllabic consonant clusters, children often resort to repair strategies, which arise from the phonological and orthographic development stage in which they are in. In this paper, we discuss vowel epenthesis strategy. Hence, we examine oral and written productions from 56 European Portuguese monolingual children attending the 1st and 4th grades of two elementary schools in Portugal. Data from this study suggest that there are some wide differences: (i) between the acquisition of branching Onsets and other consonantal clusters, (ii) between oral and writing.
