Recordings were made of the speech of forty children at a large school for the deaf. The children were equally divided between male and female and between the age groups 8-10 and 13-15 yr. Each child read a specially constructed set of sentences containing all phonemes occurring more than 0.1% of the time in spoken English. The recordings were analyzed for phonemic errors by a group of skilled phoneticians. Errors were subdivided into four groups: distortion, omission, unrecognizable substitution, and recognizable substitution. Errors involving consonants were markedly dependent on place of articulation. Distortions, omissions, and unrecognizable substitutions increased with place of articulation toward the back of the mouth, whereas recognizable substitutions were greatest with place of articulation toward the center or front of the mouth. Substitutions were primarily voicedvoiceless with a high proportion of errors involving manner. There were relatively few substitutions involving place. Errors with vowels were most frequently recognizable substitutions and these were typically tense-lax confusions or substitutions towards a more central vowel.
