Dinnsen, Daniel A.; Green, Christopher R.; Morrisette, Michele L.; Gierut, Judith A. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
This article documents the typological occurrence and interactions of two seemingly independent error patterns, namely Velar Fronting and Labial Harmony, in a cross-sectional investigation of the sound systems of 235 children with phonological delays (ages 3;0 to 7;9). The results revealed that the occurrence of Labial Harmony depends on the…

Cross-Linguistic Expression of Contrastive Accent: Clinical Assessment in Spanish and English
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Martinez-Castilla, Pastora; Peppe, Sue – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
Well-documented Romance-Germanic differences in the use of accent in speech to convey information-structure and focus cause problems for the assessment of prosodic skills in populations with clinical disorders. The strategies for assessing the ability to use lexical and contrastive accent in English and Spanish are reviewed, and studies in the…

Deconstructing Phonetic Transcription: Covert Contrast, Perceptual Bias, and an Extraterrestrial View of "Vox Humana"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Munson, Benjamin; Edwards, Jan; Schellinger, Sarah K.; Beckman, Mary E.; Meyer, Marie K. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
This article honours Adele Miccio's life work by reflecting on the utility of phonetic transcription. The first section reviews the literature on cases where children whose speech appears to neutralize a contrast in the adult language are found on closer examination to produce a contrast ("covert contrast"). This study presents evidence…

In Support of Phonological Processes. Clinical Forum: Phonological Assessment and Treatment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Edwards, Mary Louise – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1992
This response to Fey (EC 604 058) presents arguments and examples in support of using concepts of phonological processes and constructs in assessing and treating phonological disorders in children. The paper disagrees with Fey's contention that using the term "process" for "rule" leads to confusion. (Author/DB)

Distinguishing between Phonological Difference and Disorder in Children Who Speak African-American Vernacular English: An Experimental Testing Instrument.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wilcox, Lydia D.; Anderson, Raquel T. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1998
This study evaluated an experimental articulation testing instrument for differentiating child speakers (N=21, ages 5:0 to 6:6) of African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) with atypical and typical phonologies. Significant group differences were observed, suggesting that the measure can differentiate typical and atypical development in this…

Consonant and Syllable Structure Patterns in Childhood Apraxia of Speech: Developmental Change in Three Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jacks, Adam; Marquardt, Thomas P.; Davis, Barbara L. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2006
Changes in consonant and syllable-level error patterns of three children diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) were investigated in a 3-year longitudinal study. Spontaneous speech samples were analyzed to assess the accuracy of consonants and syllables. Consonant accuracy was low overall, with most frequent errors on middle- and…
