Voice onset time in bilingual German-Spanish children
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the acquisition of the voicing contrast in German-Spanish bilingual children, on the basis of the acoustic measurement of Voice Onset Time (VOT), and found that the bilingual children displayed three different patterns of VOT development: 1. Delay in the phonetic realization of voicing: two bilingual children did not acquire long lag stops in German during the testing period; 2. Transfer of voicing features: one child produced German voiced stops with lead voicing and Spanish voiceless stops with long lag voicing; and 3.

The Acquisition of Prosodic Structure: An Investigation of Current Accounts of Children's Prosodic Development.
TL;DR: This paper examined four different approaches to prosodic acquisition: Gerken's S(W) production template, Fikkert's and Archibald's theories of stress acquisition, and Demuth and Fee's prosodic hierarchy account.

Development of syllable structure in English-speaking children with particular reference to rhymes
TL;DR: Children produced coda consonants more frequently after short than long vowels consistent with a bimoraic size constraint in syllable development, supporting generally the claim that obstruents emerge before sonorants in coda position.

Developing vowel systems as a window to bilingual phonology
TL;DR: This paper examined the vowel systems of German-Spanish bilingual children in order to determine whether there is interaction between the two language systems and found that bilingual children were delayed relative to monolingual children in the acquisition of the German vowel length contrast.
