ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to develop an articulation test that takes into consideration of syllable length and place of target phoneme(word initial, word medial onset, and/or coda, and word final). The test is also differentiated by the age based on the degree of phoneme development. Seventy-four words were selected through four times of appropriateness verifying process. Each word was classified by the syllable length(one-syllable, two- syllable, and over-three-syllable words) and the place of target phoneme(word initial, word medial onset, and/or coda, and word final). Different test words were developed in terms of different ages from 3 to 6 years.
