Preschooler Abby frequently mispronounces consonants, substitutes another consonant, or leaves the sound off a word completely. She also may misinterpret a word and seems slow to connect sounds with the corresponding letters. Which of the following components of speech do these problems reflect?

Morphology
Phonology
Syntax
Pragmatics

Explanation

Answer: B-Abby’s problems reflect a phonological deficit. Phonology is the understanding that letters make sounds and sounds make up words. When a child is unable to manipulate or hear individual sounds, speech may be delayed, as well as reading and writing.
