Speech Flashcards

1
Q

Discuss the theories of psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics

A

Psycho- early cognitive intention is required before development of intentional communication
Socio- language is only acquired if the child has a reason to communicate

Q

What are the 5 levels of communicative functioning

A

1- preintentional : reflexive
(Sucking, grasping, crying)
2- preintentional: reactive
(Reacts to stimuli, babbles, smiles, responds to tone of voice)
3- preintentional : pro active
(Reaches for distant object, babble conversations, adults shape interactions)
4- intentional: primitive
(Persistent behaviour until goal is obtained, intention to communicate inferred)
5- intentional: conventional
(Communicates through gesture, vocalisations, early words, requesting, protesting)

A
  1. Disturbance of tone
    (Hypernasality, hyponasality, mixed nasality)
  2. Disturbance of airflow
    (Nasal emission, nasal turbulence, nasal facial grimace)
72
Q

Describe the features of hypernasality

A

Primary feature associated with VPI
Increased nasal resonance
Fistulae/ residual cleft palate common cause
Loss of oral pressure

73
Q

Describe the features of hyponasality

A

Insufficient nasal resonance
Partial or complete obstruction of nasal airway
Perceived mostly on /m/ /n/ /ng/
Results in oral breathing
Cause- can be enlarged adenoids
Can mask VPI- one fixed would become hypernasal

74
Q

Describe the features of mixed nasality

A

Hyper and hypo co occurring

Caused by VPI and increased nasal resistance

75
Q

Describe the features of nasal emission/ escape

A

Nasal airflow with/ instead of oral airflow
When airflow is nasal but should be oral =nasal emission
Mostly heard on voiceless consonants

76
Q

Describe the features of nasal turbulence

A 
Severe form of audible nasal emission 
Produces a nasal noise
Due to restriction of nasopharynx 
Associated to small velopharyngeal opening 
Noticed on /b/ /d/ /g/
77
Q

Describe the features of nasal facial grimace

A

May be an attempt to inhibit nasality
Restriction of facial muscles
Could be indicator of VPI

Dominance of glottal and pharyngeal articulations
Inadequate intraoral mechanism

79
Q

Name some placement errors in cleft speech

Lateralisation/palatalisation

80
Q

Name some manner errors in cleft speech

A

Weak articulation
(Reduced intraoral pressure)
Nasalisation of consonants
Nasal emission and turbulence

81
Q

Describe active vs passive processes in cleft speech

A

Active- child actively attempts to produce phonological contrast resulting in non English sounds
Passive- result of the production of a nasal sound in same place as an oral one eg /b/ =/m/

82
Q

If holding nose:
Facilitates production of consonant= passive
Inhibits consonant production =active
