Probably the best known synonym for developmental
phonological disorders (Bowen, 1998) is 'phonological disability' found in the early work of
Ingram (1976), and Grunwell (1981a, b). They are also called phonological
impairments. As well, in the literature
they are referred to as: phonomotor disability
(Folkins
& Bleile, 1990), syntactic phonological syndrome (Howell & Dean, 1991),
phonological disorder (Dean, Howell, Hill & Waters, 1990; Fey, 1992;
Kamhi, 1992; Stackhouse, 1993), and expressive phonological impairment (Bird, Bishop & Freeman,
1995).
Dodd (1995)
distinguished three distinct types of phonological disorder (excluding articulation
disorders): delayed phonological acquisition, inconsistent deviant disorder, and
consistent deviant disorder. Grunwell and Russell (1990) also posited at least three
types, related to (1) form: the inventory and contrastive system, (2) function: the
variability in the realisation of adult contrasts, and (3) phonotactics (the latter type
discussed in detail in Grunwell & Yavas, 1988).
There are references in the recent literature to developmental phonological
disorders as other adjective-adjective-noun labels, including
permutations of the following, with or without the word "learning", for
instance, developmental phonological learning disorder (Gibbon & Grunwell, 1990):
| functional |
articulation |

| non-organic |
phonologic(al) |

(ies) |
| developmental |
