Despite being taught, school going children who learn English or Hindi as a second language generate an inaccurate or accurate sound –pattern processing (SPP) in ‘taught or ‘learnt’ words. Seldom do they recognize some deletions were phonologically processed in their word- utterances. The present study has made an attempt to highlight and discuss ‘deletions’, a phonological process, recorded in 2400 utterances of 240 students of two- group G1(age range is 10-11) and G2 (age range 11-12) in selected ten Hindi words classified as ‘known’. Objectives of the undertaken study are 1) to examine ‘deletions’ in individually recorded utterances and discuss whether such ‘deletions’ in given words are unconsciously processed. 2) To throw some evidences based on data for the researcher’s claim that a language learner/user, in particular, disregards ‘explicit phonology’ but is concerned with ‘independently developed phonology (cognitive phonology). Though various phonologically processed error-patterns were evident in ‘taught Hindi mono/di/try words/, discussion is confined to one aspect of phonological process- deletion.
