SSD Quiz 1 Flashcards
Communication
process consisting of 2 or more people sharing information, refers to any way we convey information from one person to another
Speech
most widely used means of communication, expression of thoughts in spoken words, verbal output
Under umbrella of speech
articulation, fluency, voice
Articulation
motor production of speech sounds
Fluency
flow of speech, rate and rhythm
Voice
vocal quality, pitch, loudness, resonance
Language
complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols used for various modes for thought and communication, rule governed
Under the umbrella of language
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics
Communication Disorders
impairment in the ability to receive, send, process and comprehend concepts
Many different types of communication disorders…
speech, language, hearing, central auditory processing
Speech Disorder
indicates oral, verbal communication that is so deviant from the norm that it is noticeable or interferes with communication
Examples of speech disorders
articulation disorder (lisp), fluency disorder (stutter) or voice disorder (loss of voice)
Language Disorder
impaired comprehension and or use of spoken, written, and/or other symbol systems, may involve phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
Hearing Disorder
impaired auditory sensitivity leads to a hearing impairment
Central auditory processing
difficulties with information processing of auditory signals that are not the result of hearing impairment
Articulation vs phonology
Articulation: subcategory of speech, motor processes, consists of phones
Phonology: subcategory of language, understanding of sound systems in a language, consists of phonemes
Phones vs Phonemes
phones relate to articulation, just simply the production of a sound vs phoneme is related to phonology, when combined with other unites distinguish meaning between words
Phonology
study of how phonemes are organized and function in a language
Phonotactics
allowed combinations of phonemes in a particular language
Example of ASL phonology?
movement, location, repetitions
Speech Sound Disorders
umbrella term referring to any difficulty or combination of difficulties with perception, motor production or phonological representation of speech sounds and segments
Articulation Disorder
atypical articulation (substitutions, omissions, additions and distortions) interfering with intelligibility, errors can be age appropriate or atypical, can cause frustration
Phonological Disorder
Impaired understanding of the phonological system of a particular language, if child produces swing, sing, ring and wing as wing they are not using required phonemic contrasts to indicate differences in meaning of words
Are articulation and phonology mutually exclusive?
NO, articulation is form (production) and phonology is functions (linguistic understanding)
Assessment of articulation/phonological disorder
- phonetic inventory: list all phones produced
- phonemic inventory: list of phonemes used to differentiate meaning, whichever sounds are being substituted
- phonotactic constraints: can they use target phonemes in all possible positions of the word? ex child might use /k/ in cat but in cake the word would be /kei/
