It has often been stated by linguists (e.g. Haas, 1963) that in making phonological analyses of children's speech it must be emphasized that at all stages of development the child has a system of his own and that it is misleading to regard his speech as “an imperfect version of adult language” (Fry, 1968, p. 19). This article suggests that over‐emphasizing such viewpoints, particularly with regard to articulatory disorders, may be as unhelpful as the earlier disregard of functional factors (being “swamped by a mass of observations”) which such emphasis was intended to dispel.
