Temporal, spectral and amplitude characteristics of the Greek fricative /s/ in hearing-impaired and normal-hearing speech
Clin Linguist Phon. 2024 Jan 25:1-27. doi: 10.1080/02699206.2023.2301308. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFricatives, and especially sibilants, are very frequently misarticulated by speakers with hearing loss. Misarticulations can result in phonemic contrast weakening or loss, compromising intelligibility. The present study focuses on the examination of acoustic characteristics of the Greek alveolar fricative /s/, an articulatorily demanding sound, produced by young adult speakers with profound hearing impairment and with normal hearing. An array of variables was examined using mixed-effects and random forest models aiming t...

Manifestation of speech disfluencies in preschool Cantonese-English speaking bilingual children
Clin Linguist Phon. 2024 Jan 25:1-17. doi: 10.1080/02699206.2024.2305645. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStuttering is characterised by disruptions in speech fluency that normally emerges between the ages of 2 to 5 when children start to formulate sentences. Current stuttering identification in children is largely based on speech disfluency criteria (>3% stuttering-like disfluencies, SLDs) developed for monolingual English-speaking children. Research in a Western language context shows that application of the criteria for monolingual to bilingual children may result in false positive diagnosis of stuttering. The applicab...

Measuring productive syntactic abilities in Mandarin-speaking children in Taiwan
CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that MAPS-R is a reliable and valid measure that can provide a rich profile of the syntactic development of Mandarin-speaking children. It can be a useful reference for speech therapists to set a baseline for developing language intervention plans and to monitor their outcome.PMID:38262623 | DOI:10.1080/02699206.2024.2302549 (Source: Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics)

Dialect identification, intelligibility ratings, and acceptability ratings of dysarthric speech in two American English dialects
Clin Linguist Phon. 2024 Jan 21:1-12. doi: 10.1080/02699206.2023.2301337. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study explored the intelligibility and acceptability ratings of dysarthric speakers with African American English (AAE) and General American English (GAE) dialects by listeners who identify as GAE or AAE speakers, as well as listener ability to identify dialect in dysarthric speech. Eighty-six listeners rated the intelligibility and acceptability of sentences extracted from a passage read by speakers with dysarthria. Samples were used from the Atlanta Motor Speech Disorders Corpus and ratings were collected v...

Language profiles in Noonan Syndrome - A multiple case study
This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of the linguistic profiles of children and adolescents with NS, focusing on vocabulary, grammar skills, phonological memory skills, working memory skills, and visuospatial skills. Sixteen participants aged 6-16 took part in the study. The findings reveal substantial variation in the affected linguistic areas, with some participants demonstrated normal findings, while inconsistent and overall weak language skills were observed in a large subgroup of participants.PMID:38226429 | DOI:10.1080/02699206.2023.2298976 (Source: Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics)

Comprehension of active, passive, and causative sentences by Japanese-speaking children with intellectual disabilities and typical development
This study aimed to identify the comprehension strategies employed for active, passive, and causative sentences and the involvement of phonological memory, which is a subsystem of working memory, in the comprehension skills of Japanese-speaking children with intellectual disability (ID) compared to those with typical development (TD). The participants were 29 children with ID and 18 children with TD who were matched according to mental and vocabulary ages and phonological memory scores. A picture selection method was employed as a sentence comprehension task. The stimulus sentences were grouped into four patterns of word o...
