OBJECTIVE: To provide an account of variation in the production of consonant clusters by pediatric cochlear implant users. DESIGN: Productions of consonant clusters by pediatric cochlear implant users were analyzed for variation in number of segments, reduction patterns, and segmental substitutions within the framework of Optimality Theory. RESULTS: A finite set of faithfulness and markedness constraints and variable constraint ranking can account for much of the variation in the production of consonant clusters by pediatric cochlear implant users. CONCLUSION: Variation in consonant cluster production by pediatric cochlear implant users is not structurally random but subject to the same principles of phonological organization that govern other linguistic systems.
