dc.description <p><em>The article deals with the order of emergence of click consonants and the nature of click inventory. It reveals the course of development and differentiation of a phonological repertoire of a type different from those studied in depth to date.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em>The sample consists of 10 children, three males and seven females between 1:0 and 3 years old. The study shows ample evidence of the extensive use of question and prompting routines directed at these Xhosa-speaking children and explains why these children learn these clicks so early despite how marked they are.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em>Results describe the order of acquisition; the appearance of all basic clicks; the tempo between 1:7 and 2:0<ins datetime="2004-11-25T10:30" cite="mailto:jardienn"></ins> years; the period of occurrence of a spurt; and the development of voiceless to voiced and nasalized clicks.</em><em> </em></p>
