5 Contrastive Approaches

Minimal Pairs
Best for: refining specific errors
- Targets one contrast
- Uses meaning breakdown (homonymy)
- Focuses on small phonetic differences
Learning Driver: Meaning
Outcome: Local change
Example: /w/ contrasted with /r/

Multiple Oppositions
Best for system collapse
- Targets 2–4 sounds at once
- Designed for phoneme collapse
- Uses Distance Metric
Learning Driver: System restructuring
Outcome: System-wide change
Example: /d/ contrasted with /k/, /f/, /tʃ/, & /st/

Empty Set
Contrasting two maximally distant sounds that are both unknown to the child.
/r/ contrasted with /d/

Maximal Oppositions
Contrasting a speech sound that is know by the child with a maximally distinct sound that is not known.
/d/ contrasted with /n/

Vowel Contrast
Contrastive word sets that differ only by the vowel.
/i/ contrasted with /æ/, /ʌ/, & /ɔ/
