 What is Prevocalic Voicing?

Prevocalic Voicing (pvv) is a phonological process typically lasting up to the age of 3 years. Pvv happens when voiceless consonants (t, k, p, s, f, sh, th, ch, h) in the initial position of a word or syllable is replaced by a voiced consonant.

Examples:

  • tog = dog

  • pig = big

  • chug = jug

  • fine = vine

  • cookie = guh-gee
