Definition
cerebral vascular disease (stroke), traumatic brain injury, degenerative neurological disorders (multiple sclerosis, dimentia, als, parkinsons, alzheimers), tardive dyskinesias, brain tumors, oral/lingual/pharyngeal cancer, nutritional diseases, dialectical patterns, bells palsy, nerve swelling
Term
speech after stroke or tbi can have the following possibilities
Definition
aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia, ataxia
Term
aphasia
Definition
loss inability to communicate in all or 1 of the language modalities
Term
dysarthria
Definition
may cause drooling
-difficulty in movement and with the muscles effects phonological systems
Term
ataxia
Definition
cerebellum damage, cannot perform precise movements, (proprioception problem) normally a tremor involved affects the precise movements of the articulators
Term
childhood apraxia of speech (CAS)
Definition
unknown cause
-suspect is a genetic link
-developmental
-children may also have language problems and difficulty with literacy
Term
Adult Apraxia of Speech (AOS):
Definition
acquired; following injury to the brain
-stroke, tbi,tumors, multiple sclerosis etc..
-incidence and prevalence rates are difficult to find for either disorder
-often coexists with dysarthria or aphasia
Term
characteristics of apraxia
Definition
-difficulty with motor planning and programming
-more difficulty with increased length and complexity
-inconsistent errors (sometimes may get a sound right sometimes not)
-display groping behaviors for articulatory target
-patients tend to be more aware of errors and try to self correct but not always effective.
-may also have oral/limb apraxia
-automatic spch is often better than spontaneous
Term
treatment of CAS and AOS (apraxia):
Definition
-frequent intense therapy with lots of repetition
-multi-sensory feedback (any type of other senses shows position of mouth feel where mouth is supposed to be shaped like etc..), integral stimulation. progressive approximation techniques (shaping tech) or phonetic placement therapy
-pacing boards to slow down speech rate
-Alternative communication devices (AAC)may be used in severe cases
Term
articulation
Definition
Articulation disorders
Phonetic errors
Difficulties with speech sound production and form
i.e., articulators impaired
Typically no other language impairments

involves resonation, phonation and respiration
artic skills develop along with other motor skills
Term
Phonological Disorders
Definition
Phonemic errors
Difficulties with phoneme and language function
knowledge and use of phonemes will be impaired
May affect morphology, syntax, semantics
In some cases (in your readings):
Can be a broad term including articulation disorders
-more common in boys
Term
Interjudge reliability:
Definition
how well you agree with one or more persons (live or video recording)
Term
Intrajudge reliability:
Definition
how well you agree with yourself
Calculate: number of agreements /total units * 100
Term
Diacritics:
Definition
Marks added to transcription symbols to give phonetic value
Can be used to transcribe atypical speech patterns, pauses, and syllable boundaries

-use brackets []
Term
consonants are broken up by 3 categories
Definition
place, manner and voicing
Term
vowels are broken up:
Definition
high mid low
front back central
Term
Phonetic inventory
Definition
Consists of all speech sounds in a client’s repertoire
Term
Phoneme:
Definition
a basic symbol carrying linguistic meaning which is used for distinguishing or contrasting one morpheme from another
Term
Minimal Contrast-
Definition
morphemes that differ in one sound in the same placement within a morpheme
Examples: cat, mat, fat, rat, bat, pat, vat, hat
Term
Phoneme-
Definition
distinctive units of sounds in a language
Help form meaningful contrasts between utterances
carry semantic meaning when combined with other phonemes
Term
Morpheme-
Definition
the meaningful semantic unit
not the same as a word; not all morphemes can stand on their own
Term
Morpheme:
Definition
Minimal unit of meaning
Word= stem
Non-word= prefix, suffix, ending for tense possession or plurality

**A lexicon is a collection and description of morphemes.
Term
Phonotactics
Definition
Allowable combinations of phonemes within a language
i.e., /-ng/ can end a word but not begin it
Term
speech sound disorders:
Definition
Occur when mistakes continue past a certain age that the child should be able to make the sound

Includes problems with
articulation (making sounds)
phonological processes (sound patterns)
Term
VCFS Velo-cardio facial syndrome
Definition
Rare genetic disorder (but the most common after Down Syndrome)
Characterized by:
abnormalities of the head and face area (craniofacial)
-most common cleft palate (sub mucousa)(asymmetrical face and straight facial profile)
Heart defects appearing since birth (congenital heart defects)
Loss of muscle tone (hypotonia)
Mild small stature
Slight delays in the acquisition of skills involving the coordination of mental and muscular activities
Learning disabilities
Term
is vcfs genetic?
Definition
yes VCFS is genetic in which choromosome 22q11 is deleted
(deletion of genetic information on chromosome 22)
Term
difficulties with vcfs?
Definition
-children with vcfs normally develop slower than normal children
-VCFS average age for walking is around 15-16 months in comparison to the average for the normative population being 12 months.
-Speech and language milestones are slightly more delayed
The average age for their 1st word is around 19 months, but this too varies. A normal milestone for 1st word is typically around 12 months.
-Difficulties deal with expressive language, severely limited vocabulary, and hypernasality.
Term
best treatment for vcfs
Definition
is repetition
-and more concrete things like greeting then work on more abstract concepts like social cues etc..
-learning is best done by repetition and breaking down concepts.
Term
syntax-
Definition
how words are combined to make sentences (word order)
Term
semantics
Definition
the meaning of words
Term
Types of Allophonic Variations: (only 2)
Definition
Complimentary distribution:
At least two allophones never occur in the same phonetic environment.
“key” vs. “could” (vowel influence)
Free variation
At least two allophones can occur in the same phonetic environment. “They can be used interchangeably”.
/p/ and /t/ in word final positions
Term
Vowels
Definition
Open vocal tract
Defined by tongue movement
Voiced (except during whispers)
Nucleus of syllables (must be included or have a vowel-like sound)
Term

Term
Nasality
Definition
Clients with dysarthria and cleft palate often have hypernasal speech
Due to palatalpharyngeal dysfunction- not closing off nasal cavity
Nasality seeps into the vowel segment-
***attempt to say a vowel without closing off your nasal cavity
“buggy”

Term
theory
Definition
A theory is a based upon a hypothesis
backed by evidence.
Should be able to test your theory
Used to described an event, circumstance, or phenomenon
Term
Distinctive features theory:
Definition
Phonetic constituents that distinguish between phonemes
Generally articulatory properties

Described using a binary system
(-) absence of feature (+) presence of feature
i.e., + consonantal, -vocalic, + voicing = /g/
Two sound segments are considered distinct if at least one of their features is different
Term
Optimality Theory: Prince & Smolemesky (1993)
Definition
All languages have syllables; some patterns are more or less common across languages

input, output, generator, and evaluator
Term
Natural phonology theory:
Definition
Designed to explain development of a child’s phonological system
Limitation
Structural: does not have the
physical capacity to say /s/
Ordering
Randomly saying /s/ in all positions of words (sometimes incorrectly)
to using /s/ in substitution of /t/ and /d/. This would be frication
Suppression
Going from using frication to not using frication by age 8. The phonological process has been “suppressed”
Remember the goal: Typical Adult phonological skills
Term
