Noise phenomena in distress cries of term and very preterm infants at term-equivalent age
CONCLUSIONS: Distress cries of both term and term-equivalent preterm infants appear to contain high instances of phonatory noise. The high arousal associated with distress crying and associated increase in subglottal pressure appeared to influence both term and term-equivalent preterm infants similarly.PMID:38647190 | DOI:10.1080/14015439.2024.2342335 (Source: Logopedics, Phoniatrics, Vocology.)

FreDESS: a clinical tool for perceptual evaluation of stuttering
CONCLUSION: The FreDESS scale for the assessment of stuttered speech may be a valuable tool in clinical and research contexts. It is a valid and more time-efficient assessment instrument than the more commonly used SSI.PMID:38644572 | DOI:10.1080/14015439.2024.2338084 (Source: Logopedics, Phoniatrics, Vocology.)

"They sure aren't from around here": Children's perception of accent distance in L1 and L2 varieties of English
J Child Lang. 2024 Apr 22:1-24. doi: 10.1017/S0305000924000138. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren exhibit preferences for familiar accents early in life. However, they frequently have more difficulty distinguishing between first language (L1) accents than second language (L2) accents in categorization tasks. Few studies have addressed children's perception of accent strength, or the relation between accent strength and objective measures of pronunciation distance. To address these gaps, 6- and 12-year-olds and adults ranked talkers' perceived distance from the local accent (i.e., Midland American English). Rankings we...

To what extent do children's expressions of time actually refer to time? An investigation into the temporal and discursive usages of temporal adverbs in family interaction
We report two corpus-based studies that investigated temporal adverbs in Finnish child-parent interaction between the children's ages of 1;7 and 4;11. Study 1 shows that the two corpus children used temporal adverbs to construe both temporal and discursive meanings from their early adverb production and that the children's usage syntactically broadly reflected the input received. Study 2 shows that the discursive uses of adverbs appeared to be learned from contextually anchored caregiver constructions that convey discourse functions like urging and reassuring, and that the usage is related to the children's and caregivers'...

Pedagogical Approaches to Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in Communication Sciences and Disorders Programs: A Nationwide Survey
CONCLUSIONS: A combination of curricular infusion and dedicated CLD coursework is recommended to ensure sufficient training in CLD issues. The development of additional resources is needed to better support instructors in both general-content and CLD-dedicated courses. Finally, CLD training should engage students in challenging unjust systems and harmful ideologies and not just celebrate multiculturalism in order to provide culturally responsive service to all clients.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25587651.PMID:38648532 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00032 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Inferential Comprehension Abilities in French-Speaking Preschoolers Exposed to Neglect in the Early Longitudinal Language and Neglect Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the significant gap in inferential comprehension abilities between neglected and non-neglected preschool children. These results reiterate the importance of early detection of language comprehension difficulties in young children coming from vulnerable environments.PMID:38648562 | DOI:10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00484 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing laryngectomy: A long-term prospective evaluation
CONCLUSION: Anxiety, depression and QoL in laryngectomised patients improved at 1 year after surgery and were maintained for up to 5 years.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject Laryngectomy is associated with prolonged functional and psychological effects and has a major impact on patient quality of life (QoL). Several prospective studies evaluating the QoL in laryngectomised patients have been reported, in which significant deterioration in social functioning was found even 1 year after surgery. What this paper adds to existing knowledge One year is not a sufficient period for laryngectomised patients...
