Evidence for a Familial Speech Sound Disorder Subtype in a Multigenerational Study of Oral and Hand Motor Sequencing Ability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Peter, Beate; Raskind, Wendy H. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2011
Purpose: To evaluate phenotypic expressions of speech sound disorder (SSD) in multigenerational families with evidence of familial forms of SSD. Method: Members of five multigenerational families (N = 36) produced rapid sequences of monosyllables and disyllables and tapped computer keys with repetitive and alternating movements. Results: Measures…

Transcription of Vowels.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pollock, Karen E.; Berni, Mary C. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2001
This article addresses the special problems of transcribing vowels in the evaluation of speech samples. It reviews the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols and diacritics for transcribing vowels and discusses their importance in the transcription of disordered speech and dialect variation. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)

Transcription of Suprasegmentals.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Snow, David – Topics in Language Disorders, 2001
This article reviews conventions for transcribing suprasegmental features in spoken English. It proposes that symbols based on the International Phonetic Alphabet and its recent extensions be supplemented, in the area of intonation, by selected tonetic stress marks and examples of the autosegmental notation used in the Tone and Break Indices…

Phonetic Transcription of Disordered Speech.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Powell, Thomas W. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2001
This article reviews major approaches to the transcription of disordered speech using the International Alphabet (IPA). Application of selected symbols for transcribing non-English sounds is highlighted in clinical examples, as are commonly used diacritic symbols. Included is an overview of the IPA extensions for transcription of atypical speech,…

Phonological Knowledge in Typical and Atypical Speech-Sound Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Munson, Benjamin; Edwards, Jan; Beckman, Mary E. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2005
This article discusses 4 types of phonological knowledge: knowledge of the acoustic and perceptual characteristics of speech sounds (perceptual knowledge), knowledge of the articulatory characteristics of speech sounds (articulatory knowledge), higher level knowledge of the ways that words can be divided into sounds and related phonotactic…

The Anatomical Basis of Language.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Foundas, Anne L. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2001
The anatomy of speech and language-related cortical areas is reviewed with an emphasis on neuroimaging methods that have been utilized to better understand the anatomy and functional extent of critical speech-language areas. Contributions from pneumoencephalography, computerized tomography scans, and magnetic resonance imaging are discussed.…

Acquired Language Disorders.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Raymer, Anastasia M. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2001
This article discusses advances in structural and functional neuroimaging that indicate that, in general, nonfluent aphasias are associated with left pre-rolandic lesions and fluent aphasias occur with left post-rolandic lesions that spare pre-rolandic areas. However, functional neuroimaging studies have also shown that neural dysfunction often…

The Evolution of Neuroimaging Research and Developmental Language Disorders.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lane, Angela B.; Foundas, Anne L.; Leonard, Christiana M. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2001
This article reviews current neuroimaging literature, including computer tomography, positron emission tomography, single photon emission spectroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging, on individuals with developmental language disorders. The review suggests a complicated relationship between cortical morphometry and language development that is…

Epilogue: Neuroimaging with a View to Prediction and Prognosis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kendall, Diane L.; Rothi, Leslie J. Gonzalez – Topics in Language Disorders, 2001
This epilogue discusses potentials in future clinical decision-making using the emerging functional neuroimaging technology, including identification of the mechanisms underlying cognitive functions and prediction of spared/impaired cognitive functions, those related to recovery of function and prediction of treatment candidacy; and those related…
