Abstract

Phonological development is approached in different ways in the literature. One is based on the establishment of the age of acquisition of the phonemes of a language. A review of the literature showed that in this area researchers do not always use the same criteria in the analysis of data in the selection of the sample or clinical judgment to determine acquisition, among other important points. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare different approaches and determine how the choice of one or the other influences the age of acquisition of the phonemes studied. To accomplish the objectives, 84 children aged between 3 and 4 organized into 4 groups of 21 children were evaluated according to age range. They were evaluated in the production of the lateral / l / and rhotic phonemes / ɾ / and / r / in different phonological contexts. Then different criteria were applied to the sample of obtained phonemes to compare them. The results showed that the age of acquisition of phonemes studied varies according to the criteria used, in some cases up to two years apart. From the results, there is a discussion of the importance of explaining the criteria used when considering the age of acquisition and especially the implications it may have when different criteria is chosen for a speech therapy exercise.
