Walker, Judy P.; Joseph, Lydia; Goodman, Jeffrey – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2009
This study investigated the production of linguistic prosody in subjects with left hemisphere damage (LHD). Three experiments involving the production of lexical stress in nouns vs verbs, compound nouns vs tag constructions, and echo questions vs statements were conducted. Acoustic measurements (fundamental frequency (F[subscript 0]), duration and…

Ahlsen, Elisabeth – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2008
The role of embodiment in communication is attracting an increased interest. This interest is to some extent caused by hypotheses and findings concerning mirror neurons in macaques, that is, neurons that are activated by production as well as perception of, for example, a certain movement of action. Mirror neurons seem to provide a fairly simple…

De Andrade, Claudia Regina Furquim; Martins, Vanessa De Oliveira – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2007
The Speech Fluency Profile of fluent adolescent speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, were examined with respect to gender and neurolinguistic variations. Speech samples of 130 male and female adolescents, aged between 12;0 and 17;11 years were gathered. They were analysed according to type of speech disruption; speech rate; and frequency of speech…

Boatman, Dana F. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2007
Recent brain mapping studies have provided new insights into the cortical systems that mediate human speech perception. Electrocortical stimulation mapping (ESM) is a brain mapping method that is used clinically to localize cortical functions in neurosurgical patients. Recent ESM studies have yielded new insights into the cortical systems that…

Buckingham, Hugh W. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
One of the most fascinating and frustrating issues in the priority of discovery in science is over just who, for the first time, went on record in the public forum, either orally at a conference or through a published communication, proclaiming that the faculty of articulate human speech was located in the left, not the right, cortical hemisphere.…

Damico, Jack S.; Simmons-Mackie, Nina; Wilson, Brent – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
Employing conversation analysis as a research technique, this study investigates the ways that unintelligibility is accounted for and overcome within a therapeutic encounter between an individual with aphasia and dysarthria and his clinician. The results emphasize the collaborative nature of intelligibility negotiation and demonstrate how both the…

Maassen, Ben; Pasman, Jaco; Nijland, Lian; Rotteveel, Jan – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
It has long been recognized that from the first months of life auditory perception plays a crucial role in speech and language development. Only in recent years, however, is the precise mechanism of auditory development and its interaction with the acquisition of speech and language beginning to be systematically revealed. This paper presents the…
