Acoustic Analysis of Durational Speech Parameters in Neurological Dysarthrias

  • Chapter
From the Brain to the Mouth

Part of the book series: Neuropsychology and Cognition ((NPCO,volume 12))

Abstract

Darley, Aronson and Brown (1969a,b, b) performed the only comprehensive investigation of neurological dysarthrias available so far. About eight of the 38 perceptual dimensions of dysarthric speech considered by these authors refer to the temporal structure of verbal utterances, e.g. “rate”, “excess and equal stress”, “prolonged phonemes”. Disturbances in this domain even belong to the most prominent features of choreic and ataxic dysarthria.
