The structure of segmental errors in the speech of deaf children
Abstract:
A quantitative description of the segmental errors occurring in the speech of deaf children is developed. The method of description separates out those errors or characteristics that are common to all deaf speakers from those that are common to different subpopulations of the deaf (e.g., severely versus profoundly hearing impaired) from those errors or characteristics that are unique to individual speakers. Using this technique, the pattern of segmental errors is specified for several groups of children including deaf children at a school for the deaf as well as hearing-impaired children who have been mainstreamed into the regular school system.

Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
