Nicolaidis, Katerina – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2007
This paper investigates spatio-temporal variability during the production of the lingual consonants /t, k, s, x, n, l, "r"/ by four Greek speakers with profound hearing impairment and with differences in the intelligibility of their speech. It examines important factors that have been documented to influence intelligibility, i.e.…

Girgin, M. Cem – Online Submission, 2007
The aim of training for the hearing impaired children in auditory oral approach is to develop good speaking abilities. However profoundly hearing-impaired children show a wide range of spoken language abilities, some having highly intelligible speeches while others have unintelligible ones. This is due to hearing-impaired children's speech…

Keintz, Connie K.; Bunton, Kate; Hoit, Jeannette D. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2007
Purpose: To examine the influence of visual information on speech intelligibility for a group of speakers with dysarthria associated with Parkinson's disease. Method: Eight speakers with Parkinson's disease and dysarthria were recorded while they read sentences. Speakers performed a concurrent manual task to facilitate typical speech production.…

Walshe, Margaret; Peach, Richard K.; Miller, Nick – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2009
Background: The psychosocial impact of acquired dysarthria on the speaker is well recognized. To date, speech-and-language therapists have no instrument available to measure this construct. This has implications for outcome measurement and for planning intervention. This paper describes the Dysarthria Impact Profile (DIP), an instrument that has…

Gooskens, Charlotte – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2007
The three mainland Scandinavian languages (Danish, Swedish and Norwegian) are so closely related that the speakers mostly communicate in their own languages (semicommunication). Even though the three West Germanic languages Dutch, Frisian and Afrikaans are also closely related, semicommunication is not usual between these languages. In the present…

Blaney, Bronagh; Hewlett, Nigel – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2007
Background: Friedreich's ataxia is one of the most common hereditary disorders of the nervous system. Dysarthria is a pervasive symptom of Friedreich's ataxia, yet the clinical presentation of speech symptoms remains poorly understood, leaving clinicians without the evidence required to develop therapy interventions. Aims: The research reported…

Contribution of Two Sources of Listener Knowledge to Intelligibility of Speakers with Cerebral Palsy
Hustad, Katherine C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: This study examined the independent and combined effects of two sources of linguistic knowledge (alphabet cues and semantic predictability) on the intelligibility of speakers with dysarthria. The study also examined the extent to which each source of knowledge accounted for variability in intelligibility gains. Method: Eight speakers with…

Klein, Edward S.; Flint, Cari B. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2006
PURPOSE: To determine empirically which of three frequently observed rules in children with phonological disorders contributes most to difficulties in speaker intelligibility. METHOD: To evaluate the relative effects on intelligibility of deletion of final consonants (DFC), stopping of fricatives and affricates (SFA), and fronting of velars (FV),…

Flipsen, Peter – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
Conversational speech is the most socially valid context for evaluating speech intelligibility, but it is not routinely examined. This may be because it is difficult to reliably count the number of words in the unintelligible portions of the sample. In this study four different approaches to dealing with this problem are examined. Each is based on…

Kenner, Charmian; Ruby, Mahera; Jessel, John; Gregory, Eve; Arju, Tahera – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2007
This study investigates the learning exchange between three- to six-year-old children and their grandparents, in Sylheti/Bengali-speaking families of Bangladeshi origin and monolingual English-speaking families living in east London. The following concepts from sociocultural theory are applied to this new area of intergenerational learning:…

Brenner, Jeffrey; Mueller, Edward – Child Development, 1982
Demonstrates sharing of meaning among boy toddlers. The question addressed is not, What can a toddler mean? but rather, What meanings can toddlers share? The study tests several hypotheses about shared meaning and its role in sustaining toddler interactions, and proposes a "dictionary" of meanings that toddlers can share. (Author/RH)

Lee, W. R. – 1981
Examples of authentic English speech generally include a variety of English writing as well as the English in which both native and non-native speakers communicate. Authentic language is commonly defined by the language teaching profession as that which has not been spoken or written specifically for language teaching. This definition could be…

Yoder, Paul J.; Davies, Betty – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1992
Two studies of the unintelligible speech of developmentally delayed children found that more intelligible child speech was found in routine than in nonroutine situations and that extracted utterances were more intelligible under context-information-present conditions. (35 references) (Author/CB)

Whitehill, Tara L.; Ciocca, Valter; Chan, Judy C-T.; Samman, Nabil – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
This study examined the acoustic characteristics of vowels produced by speakers with partial glossectomy. Acoustic variables investigated included first formant (F1) frequency, second formant (F2) frequency, F1 range, F2 range and vowel space area. Data from the speakers with partial glossectomy were compared with age- and gender-matched controls.…
