Finally got around to talking to my professor about it...turns out it's stridency deletion. Replacing a strident consonant with a non-strident consonant. She said it's less common and typically isn't taught. Hope this helps someone else out there! On a side note...it's November, woot! Another month and a half or so and we can all take a breather.

Thanks everyone!

Crap, yeah, definitely wrong forum...could I get this moved to the Speech-Therapy forum? My bad :/

Hi everyone, I'm Jake, 1st year SLP student. Not sure if this is in the correct forum, but it seemed the most appropriate. Anyways... I have an assignment where we classify phonological processes. I've been able to do this without too much trouble, but there's one that keeps recurring that I can't place. Here's some examples: "this" --> "dith" (/s/ becomes voiceless "th"; I have stopping for "th" becoming /d/) "nose" --> "nothe" (/s/ becomes voiceless "th") "whistle" --> "withel" (/s/ becomes voiceless "th") and a similar one: "zipper" --> (voiced "th") "thipper" (/z/ becomes voiced "th") Apologies, not sure how to get IPA in here. I might be having a brain fart after doing these for a few hours, but I just can't place the error into a specific process. I've been using the phonological process chart from "mommy speech therapy", as it seems to have a more comprehensive list than the one my professor used. Still, no luck. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
