Abstract
VOT provides important information about the language acquisition especially how the motor speech skill is being refined. Our hypotheses were the following: 1) If the age increases, the mean and standard deviation of VOTs decrease. 2) The VOTs of Hungarian-speaking children become similar to adults' VOTs at the age of 11. 3) The differences between genders depend on the age and the types of plosives. In this study 30 Hungarian-speaking children were participated in three age groups (9-, 11- and 13-year-olds). The VOTs of voiceless plosives ([p], [t], [k]) were analyzed in spontaneous speech. Our hypotheses were only partially proved by the results. There were significant differences between VOTs of the different plosives in all age groups. There were age differences in VOTs of all three plosives: with increasing age, the means of the VOTs of [p], [k] decreased, and the mean of the VOTs of [t] increased. Gender differences in VOTs depended on the age of the speakers.
