摘要:

For male singers in the western operatic tradition the upper part of the frequency range contains a series of pitches called passaggio, the transition between ‘chest’ and ‘head’ registers. Although there is no generally accepted objective definition of the distinction between ‘head’ and ‘chest’, the distinction is widely recognized among singers and voice teachers, as is the term ‘cover’, a technique often considered to be helpful in a proper execution of passaggio. On the basis of spectrographic, electroglottographic, and sub- and supraglottal pressure measurements on professional singers’ ‘correct’ and ‘incorrect’ singing of passaggio, this study offers a definition of t

摘要:

To determine the degree of linguistic maturity of a child, a series of areas that are usually formally tested in the assessment of language were analyzed. Specifically, an indiviudal test of the assessment of language was applied to a sample of 204 children of Granada (Spain) ranging in age from 2.6 to 6.6 years. This test consists of six areas: comprehension, memory, fluency, vocabulary, knowledge, and judgement and intelligence. A factorial analysis of the data was carried out to check the classification of the above-mentioned areas. It is found that in the three following factors the analyzed variables get saturated: ‘learned behaviors’, ‘behaviors which are being learned’ and

摘要:

This prospective study was set up to investigate the acceptability and intelligibility of speech produced by a population of male patients who had undergone total laryngectomy for malignant disease in Sheffield. Each had been fitted with at least 1 Groningen tracheoesophageal prosthesis and their phonatory qualities were assessed by a team of 8 naive listeners. Speech quality assessed in terms of acceptability and intelligibility was found to be generally very high and compares favourably with that produced by a population of patients using the Blom-Singer prosthesis

摘要:

An EMG biofeedback technique was developed for the treatment of dysarthria. It aims at increasing the quantity of information about the myofacial system which can be used by the patients to improve the control of their musculature and speech production. This therapy tool consisting of an application software module (copyright INSERM/CNRS 92) is adaptable for a lot of muscles and speech realizations.

摘要:

Changes in the morphology and functioning of the speech articulators were assessed in 118 children monitored from the age of 7 to 10 years, and associations between these variables and misarticulations were analyzed. The accuracy of articulatory movements and their coordination improved markedly. There was a relative delay in development of the motor coordination of boys who produced sounds too far posteriorly. Difficulties in tongue movements and their coordination increased the risk for the category of other misarticulations. Difficulties in motor coordination contributed to a lesser extent to articulatory speech disorders in 10-year-olds compared to 7-year-olds. Some new cases of inaccuracy of coordinating the movements refer to the lability of muscle coordination still at the age of 10.
