Abstract :
With being taught, school going children who
learn Hindi as a Second Language (L2) tend to deviate
from accurate Sound –Pattern Processing (SPP)
resulting in phonological process. These include deletion,
addition and mutual exchange of segment(s). Seldom do
they recognize these type deletions or additions are
unintentionally processed in their word- articulation.
The present study has made an attempt to highlight and
discuss impact of cognitive phonology recorded in 2400
utterances of 240 students of two- groups: namely
G1(age range is 10-11) and G2 (age range 11-12) in
selected ten Hindi words classified as ‘known’.
Objectives of the undertaken study are 1) to examine
variations in individually recorded utterances 2) to
discuss major observed distorted pattern which are
unconsciously processed. Towards the end, the paper
throws some evidences based on data for the
researcher’s claim that second language learner of Hindi
disregards ‘explicit phonology’ and resorts to
‘independently developed phonology (cognitive
phonology) for pattern processing. This is evident in
derived outputs in Hindi-word utterances.
