Gallon, Nichola; Harris, John; van der Lely, Heather – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2007
We investigate whether children with Grammatical Specific Language Impairment (G-SLI) are also phonologically impaired and, if so, what the nature of that impairment is. We focus on the prosodic complexity of words, based on their syllabic and metrical (stress) structure, and investigate this using a novel non-word repetition procedure, the Test…

Bellon-Harn, Monica L.; Harn, William E.; Watson, Gina D. – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2007
A fundamental deficit in children with high-functioning autism (HFA) is social communicative competence. Atypical prosody in variable forms has been implicated in contributing to this deficit. The purpose of this case study was to describe the clinical management of an eight-year-old child with HFA for whom prosody became the primary target of…

Delgado, Christine E. F.; Vagi, Sara J.; Scott, Keith G. – Exceptionality, 2007
Statewide birth certificate and preschool exceptionality records were integrated to identify risk factors for developmental delay (DD). Epidemiological methods were used to investigate both individual-level and population-level risk for DD associated with a number of child and maternal factors. Infants born with very low birth weight were at the…

De Andrade, Claudia Regina Furquim; Martins, Vanessa De Oliveira – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2007
The Speech Fluency Profile of fluent adolescent speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, were examined with respect to gender and neurolinguistic variations. Speech samples of 130 male and female adolescents, aged between 12;0 and 17;11 years were gathered. They were analysed according to type of speech disruption; speech rate; and frequency of speech…

Kazi, Rehan; Prasad, Vyas M. N.; Kanagalingam, Jeeve; Georgalas, Christos; Venkitaraman, Ramachandran; Nutting, Christopher M.; Clarke, Peter; Rhys-Evans, Peter; Harrington, Kevin J. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2007
Aims: To compare voice quality as defined by formant analysis using a sustained vowel in patients who have undergone a partial glossectomy with a group of normal subjects. Methods & Procedures: The design consisted of a single centre, cross-sectional cohort study. The setting was an Adult Tertiary Referral Unit. A total of 26 patients (19…

Selassie, G. Rejno-Habte; Viggedal, G.; Olsson, I.; Jennische, M. – Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2008
We studied expressive and receptive language, oral motor ability, attention, memory, and intelligence in 20 6-year-old children with epilepsy (14 females, six males; mean age 6y 5mo, range 6y-6y 11mo) without learning disability, cerebral palsy (CP), and/or autism, and in 30 reference children without epilepsy (18 females, 12 males; mean age 6y…

Mildner, Vesna; Tomic, Diana – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
The authors studied the acquisition of nine #sC clusters in 30 Croatian-speaking phonologically disordered children, aged between 3;8-7;0 years, by analysing their renditions of target words elicited in response to visual stimuli presented on a computer screen. Results did not support the idea that a greater jump in sonority from C1 to C2 would…

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),…

McAuliffe, Megan J.; Ward, Elizabeth C.; Murdoch, Bruce E. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
Previous studies have indicated that consonant imprecision in Parkinson's disease (PD) may result from a reduction in amplitude of lingual movements or articulatory undershoot. While this has been postulated, direct measurement of the tongue's contact with the hard palate during speech production has not been undertaken. Therefore, the present…

Jeng, Jing-Yi; Weismer, Gary; Kent, Ray D. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
The primary objective of the present study was to document tone production and intelligibility deficits in Mandarin-speaking persons with cerebral palsy (CP). Spastic, athetoid, and mixed types of CP were studied, along with a control group, to investigate the possibility of tone production and intelligibility deficits that were differentially…

Ryalls, Jack; Whiteside, Janet – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
A new case of Foreign Accent Syndrome is described. This American woman presented with a British- or Australian- sounding accent after stroke, which resulted in a lacunar infarct in the left internal capsule. The atypical etiology and apparent changes in lexical use are described. It is hypothesized that an abnormally tense vocal tract posture may…

Carlesimo, G. A.; Galloni, F.; Bonanni, R.; Sabbadini, M. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2006
Background: To investigate the nature of the articulatory rehearsal mechanism of the Articulatory Loop in Baddeley's Working Memory model, it seems particularly important to study individuals who developed a deficit (dysarthria) or total abolition (anarthria) of the ability to articulate language following a cerebral lesion. Method: In this study,…

Natke, Ulrich; Sandrieser, Patricia; Pietrowsky, Reinhard; Kalveram, Karl Theodor – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2006
This study compared the disfluencies of German-speaking preschool children who stutter (CWS, N=24) with those produced by age- and sex-matched comparison children who do not stutter (CWNS, N=24). In accordance with Yairi and Ambrose's [Yairi, E., & Ambrose, N. (1992). A longitudinal study of stuttering in children: A preliminary report.…

Tjaden, Kris; Sussman, Joan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: This study addressed three research questions: (a) Can listeners use anticipatory vowel information in prevocalic consonants produced by talkers with dysarthria to identify the upcoming vowel? (b) Are listeners sensitive to interspeaker variation in anticipatory coarticulation during prevocalic consonants produced by healthy talkers…

Kent, Ray D.; Weismer, Gary; Kent, Jane F.; Vorperian, Houri K.; Duffy, Joseph R. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1999
Describes the major types of acoustic analysis available for the study of speech, identifies equipment and other components needed for a modern speech-analysis laboratory, and lists possible measurements for various aspects of phonation, articulation, and resonance, as they might be seen in neurologically disordered speech.
