Direct linkBeck, Janet Mackenzie; Laver, John – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
This paper explores some conceptual and descriptive parallels between vocal and non-vocal communication, paying particular attention to the physical phenomena and semiotic functions in both speech and gesture. The discussion focuses on the interplay between organic and performance components of speech and gestural behaviour. A central thesis of…

Perkins, Michael R. – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2005
A holistic approach to pragmatic ability and disability is outlined which takes account both of the behaviour of individuals involved in the communicative process, and also of the underlying factors which contribute to such behaviour. Rather than being seen as resulting directly from a dysfunction in some kind of discrete pragmatic "module" or…

Walker, Judy Perkins; Pelletier, Rebecca; Reif, Lindsay – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
This study examined the right hemisphere contribution to the production of linguistic prosody where acoustic features of prosodic structures in different linguistic contexts were examined accompanied by perceptual judgements. When control and right hemisphere damaged (RHD) subjects were asked to produce lexical stress differences (Experiment 1),…

Ball, Martin J.; Code, Chris; Tree, Jeremy; Dawe, Karen; Kay, Janice – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
In this paper we report on an adult male participant with a rare form of progressive speech degeneration. We present acoustic phonetic data on his vowel and consonant production, and describe his prosody and syllable structure. We suggest possible phonological analyses of his speech, concluding that a gestural approach to phonology best…

Seddoh, S. Amebu – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
Temporal control has often been suspected to be a critical factor in intonation production. In particular, disturbance in the production of fundamental frequency (F0) associated with intonation in patients with aphasia has been attributed to a primary underlying deficit in speech timing. The present study examined the speech timing abilities of…

Body, Richard; Parker, Mark – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2005
Topic repetitiveness is a common component of pragmatic impairment and a powerful contributor to social exclusion. Despite this, description, characterization and intervention remain underdeveloped. This article explores the nature of repetitiveness in traumatic brain injury (TBI). A case study of one individual after TBI provides the basis for a…
