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/
