It is remarkably noticed that young children produce simplified versions of adult speech. Consonant clusters, characterized as complex structures, are no exception in this regard. That is to say, a child using words containing consonant clusters resorts to manipulating these clusters in different ways so as to get them into simpler structures. A set of such processes include cluster reduction, epenthesis, coalescence, substitution and metathesis (Stemberger & Bernhardt, 1999). Cluster reduction, the focal issue of this study, is described as a characteristic aspect of young children's productions, especially those whose ages range between 2 and 3 years (see Smith,1973 ; Barlow & Gierut,1999 ; McLeod etal.,2001a ; 2001b; Kirk & Demuth, 2003 ; among others).
