City Univ. of New York, Flushing. Queens Coll. Dept. of Communication Arts and Sciences. – 1984
Seven papers report on speech language pathology and audiology studies performed by graduate students. The first paper reports on intelligibility of two popular synthetic speech systems used in communication aids for the speech impaired, the Votrax Personal Speech System and the Echo II synthesizer. The second paper reports facilitation of tense…

Harley, Trevor A. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1995
Examines Nickels's claim that interactive models of lexical access in speech production cannot account for naming data from a group of anomic patients. This paper reiterates that the behavior of connectionist models is not easily predictable without running the appropriate simulations, and discusses the role of frequency in lexical access in…

Jakobson, Roman – 1968
This work is an English translation of the author's classic "Kindersprache, Aphasie und allgemeine Lautgesetze," first published in 1941. It is considered the most representative and comprehensive of the author's phonological writings, dealing not only with phonological typology but related problems of language acquisition and phonemic regression…

Saffran, Eleanor M. – British Journal of Psychology, 1982
Discusses recent studies of aphasia from the perspective of theories of normal language structure and processing. Patterns of language breakdown are considered to reflect the componential structure of the language system. Brain damage is seen to fractionate language along lines suggested by existing psycholinguistic models. (Author)

Nickels, Lyndsey – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1995
Different models of spoken word production make different predictions regarding the extent of effects of certain word properties on the output of that model. This article examines these predictions with regard to the effect of these variables on the production of semantic and phonological errors by aphasic subjects. (60 references) (Author/CK)

Kukkonen, Pirkko – 1990
Two studies of adult aphasia, focusing on phonological disturbances, are presented. In the first study, subjects were 15 adults wit moderate aphasia and five age-matched controls. A variety of speech production and speech perception tests were administered, including tests of syllable discrimination, auditive word-picture matching, articulation,…

DeVito, Joseph A. – 1970
This book presents a study of speech, language, and behavior as related in the field of psycholinguistics. It confines itself to a limited number of topics which are treated in some depth. The first part of the book deals with theoretical foundations--discussing speech and language in terms of role, nature, semantic dimension, and pragmatic…

Salus, Peter H. – 1976
This paper is concerned with the Aristotelian notion of "universal" as applied to phonological phenomena. It is claimed that speech production in children and adults, in normal and deviant speakers, and in a variety of languages, can all be described according to the same universal phonological rules which constitute the universal process of…

Christman, Sarah S.; DePaolis, Rory A. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1996
Explores the role of sonority in constraining the word identification errors of normal listeners by examining the phonological relationships between response errors and stimulus targets. Findings indicate that sonority and lexical phonostatistics may constrain coda-driven word-search processes. (35 references) (Author/CK)

Morgan, Griffith A. V.; And Others – 1978
The report presents information from a survey of the needs and characteristics of children with severe communication disorders in Ontario and the programs available to serve them. It is explained that information was gathered from structured interviews with principals, teachers, and 28 parents of language handicapped children, as well as visits to…

Dingwall, William Orr, Ed. – 1971
This survey consists of eleven papers covering current topics within the realm of linguistic science. The papers are written by scholars in particular fields, and each one is followed by a list of references and critiques by other linguists. Current theories are discussed and reference is made to recent studies and writings. The areas of…

Kukkonen, Pirkko – 1994
Consonant harmony, a complex phonological assimilation in which segments (usually consonants, but sometimes even vowels) become identical, which occurs in the speech of young children and adult aphasics, is analyzed, particularly as it occurs in Finnish-speakers. Consonant harmony has an articulatory basis: it is a trend toward repetition of the…

Hwang, Shin Ja J., Ed.; Lommel, Arle R., Ed. – 1999
Papers from the conference include: "English and Human Morphology: 'Naturalness' in Counting and Measuring" (Sullivan); "Phonetic and Phonemic Change Revisited" (Lockwood); "Virtual Reality" (Langacker); "Path Directions in ASL Agreement Verbs are Predictable on Semantic Grounds" (Taub); "Temporal…

Scovel, Thomas – 1977
A study was conducted to assess the ability of children to distinguish native from non-native English and to determine the age at which they reach the adult level of recognition ability. A brief passage containing the segmental phonemes of English was recorded by ten native and ten non-native speakers of Standard American English. The tape was…
