Assessment of Prosody Disturbances in Stutterers by means of phonetic Indices
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is focused on the contribution of phonetic tools used in prosody analyzes for the study of stuttering. Three contrasted subjects (1 Non Stuttering Person, NPS and 2 Person Who Stutter, PWS with contrasted stuttering profiles) have been recorded while performing a map task under varying auditory feedback conditions (NAF, DAF 80, DAF 120 & DAF 160). The fluency index used (ISI) reveals differences between subjects and conditions, and therefore appears as a possible tool for use in further research aiming at a better understanding of stuttering and/or at the development of reliable assessment methods is discussed.

متن کاملCurrent Research in the Development of a Spoken Language Understanding System using PARSEC
We are developing a spoken language system which would more effectively merge natural language and speech recognition technology by using a more flexible parsing strategy and utilizing prosody, the suprasegmental information in speech such as stress, rhythm, and intonation. There is a considerable amount of evidence which indicates that prosodic information impacts human speech perception at ma...
