EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Betacism is a speech condition in which a person finds it difficult to distinguish between the sounds of b and v. The therapist worked with the child to correct betacism through a series of careful pronunciation exercises. In some historical languages, betacism explains why certain words that originally had a b sound later developed a v sound. His betacism made words like very sound like bery, which caused confusion during the classroom reading activity. Linguists study betacism to understand how similar speech sounds can replace each other over long periods of time.
