- Abstract
This research aims to explicate the characteristics of speech production of a child with Down Syndrome in Taman ABEKA Bhakti Luhur Foundation Malang. The data were elicited through casual conversation (unstructured interview) with the subject and prompting pictures specifically prepared to prompt the subject to produce utterances. The Levelt’s (1989) model of speech production and Miller’s (1988) language production of children with Down syndrome were employed to help analyze the data qualitatively. The result shows that there are two types among exactly four types of speech impairments proposed by Miller (1988) exhibited by the dDown sSyndrome child, namely hesitations and unclear pronunciations. Firstly, hesitations were found in both sessions. From the parts of casual conversation and prompting session, it can be concluded that the subject exhibited hesitation when he spoke longer utterances. Secondly, the subject also produced unclear pronunciations in casual conversation session while producing utterances with the voiceless bilabial stop /p/, words which contain voiced bilabial stop /b/ followed by vowel /e/ and /ǝ/, and words which have voiceless velar stop /k/ followed by vowel /a/ in Indonesian.
