Use of the Tracheostoma Valve in the Marking of Contrastive Stress and Sentence Intonation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Trudeau, Michael D.; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1988
Two tracheoesophageal speakers experienced in use of the tracheostoma valve (TSV) produced speech samples varying with location of contrastive stress, sentence intonation, and use of TSV. Listeners (n=34) found that TSV-use reduced speaker ability to signal suprasegmentals; however, locus of the suprasegmentals, particularly stress placement,…
