Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the distinction between systemic processes and structural processes, which is well-known and frequently applied in studies on children’s phonological development. As a basis for reflection, we have selected Laura Bosch’s proposal (2004), because of its diffusion and influence among Spanish researchers. First of all, our attention will focus on the difficulties which may arise when trying to draw a perfectly neat line between the two types of processes. Secondly, and lastly, we will try to uncover the syntagmatic factors which lay behind some processes which are usually described as systemic.
