Chapter 1 Flashcards
Speech Sound Disorders
-Persistent, unintelligible speech consisting of phoneme addition, omission, distortion, or substitution
-Which interferes with verbal communication for purposes of social participation, academic performance, and or occupational performance. (means different things throughout the lifespan)
-The onset of symptoms occur in early childhood
-And is not attributable to an acquired mental or neurological condition (such as brain injury)
Etiology
is the child’s speech atypical?
Assessment
How do we determine what kind of SSD
Treatment
How do we remediate the specific type of SSD
Difference between Speech and Language
Can have language without speech and speech without language
Speech
the production of the mechanism
Langauge
the listeners input and how they convey what is said
- bound based (culture, geographically, etc)
Phonemic
-studies the way we understand sounds
-allophones, intonation, syllables, assimilation, juncture, swaps
Phonetic
studies the actual sounds we produce in speech
- vocal tract, phonation type, characteristics of sound, lisps, distortion of sound
phonemes
(written in virgules / /) : the smallest unit of sound that signals change in meaning (/bit/ vs /pit/)
Phonemic Variation
(written in brackets [ ]) refers to details in the signal that does not necessarily indicate change in a phonemic category. (ex. aspiration)
Allophones
refer within-category variants (in the above example, [p] and p^h] are allophones of /p/)
Morphemes
the smallest unit of sound that signals meaning (ex. 2 morphemes in “cats” -’cat’ and plural ‘s’)
Articulation
-major aspects contribute to SSD
-Phonetic level
-Unable to produce the sounds
Phonology
-Linguistic aspects contribute to SSD
-Phonemic level
-Unable to recognise patterns in speech
