Abstract

This study investigates the acquisition of fricatives of Brazilian Portuguese, by focusing on the relationship between lexical and segmental frequency in two corpora of data collected during adult-child interaction: a corpus of adult child-directed speech and a corpus of the words produced by six babies aged 1-4 year-old. The aim was to compare, in an emergentist perspective, type and toke frequency of fricative segments in the lexicon of both corpora, and the results regarding speech production are interpreted according to a dynamic view of language acquisition
