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…

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…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Miccio, Adele W.; Powell, Thomas W. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
Generalization refers to the extension of learned behaviours to novel conditions, and it is one of the criteria by which the effectiveness and efficiency of a remediation programme may be judged. This article extracts principles of generalization from the treatment literature, and provides examples of how this information may be used to help guide…

Language Production Abilities of Children Whose Stuttering Persisted or Recovered.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Watkins, Ruth V.; Yairi, Ehud – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1997
A study evaluated the language production of 12 children (ages 5-8) who continued stuttering for 36 months or more after onset, 10 who recovered 18-36 months post onset, and 10 who recovered within 18 months of onset of stuttering. The majority of the children performed in the average range on measures of language production. (Author/CR)

A Clinical Appraisal of the Pragmatic Aspects of Language.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Prutting, Carol A.; Kirchner, Diane M. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1987
A study was conducted to test the utility of a protocol, consisting of 30 pragmatic parameters of language, to evaluate conversational speech from 157 subjects in six diagnostic groups. Four distinct profiles emerged separating the diagnostic groups within which differences in the distribution of pragmatic deficits were identified. (Author/KM)
