In the present study, we would like to discuss how the articulability of two consecutive morae plays an important role in the stage at which sound exchange errors occur. Our assumption is based on the analysis of Japanese sound exchange error data which have been collected from the spontaneous speech of adults and infants. We hypothesized that /dara/ in /kadara/(error form) was more articulable than /rada/ in /karada/(correct form). Three experiments were carried out to confirm Phonological/phonetic characteristics of the unit were shown through the results of experiments and some related observations.
