Patients with semantic dementia can show superior immediate recall of words that they still understand relatively well, as compared with more semantically degraded words, suggesting that conceptual knowledge makes a major contribution to phonological short-term memory. However, a number of studies have failed to show such a recall difference, challenging this view. We examined the effect of sev...

INTRODUCTION  Treatment of phonological disorders considering extra-linguistic and linguistic variables are important to ensure that the alteration is resolved promptly and in the best manner as possible. AIM  To analyze therapeutic advances (phonetic inventory, phonological system, and distinctive features) in children with phonological disorders by considering the therapeutic approach used,...

BACKGROUND Phonological therapy in subjects with phonological disorders. AIM To compare the efficacy of three contrastive approach models in three different severities of phonological disorder. METHOD Participants of the study were nine subjects with phonological disorders, with ages ranging between 4:2 and 6:6 years. All subjects were evaluated prior to and after phonological therapy. Thre...

BACKGROUND phonological disorder. AIM to verify the association between the phonological performance in picture naming and imitation tasks, assessing the occurrence of phonological processes and using the severity indexes of Percentage of Correct Consonants and Phonological Density Index. METHOD participants of this research were 50 phonologically disordered children, with no history of pri...

In this talk I am concerned with the following questions: 1. What is phonological typology? 2. How are phonological typology and phonetic typology the same/different? 3. How are phonological typology and general phonology the same/different? 4. How are phonological typology and general typology the same/different? Despite earlier work by Trubetzkoy, Jakobson, Martinet, Greenberg and others, and...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the phonological processing skills between children with delay and disorder compared those typically developing children. This aimed explore whether show general or specific weakness on if can differentiate from disorder. Methods: participants were 27 speech sound disorders (SSDs) 20 Children SSDs consisted 10 17 tasks for involved awareness ...

the spreading activation models of mental lexicon's structure have presented the lexicon in multiple layers (semantic- syntactic- phonological). each layer is a network of nodes which are associated by links. the nature of these links is different from layer to layer. the literature for english speakers has shown that in the phonological layer, phonological forms of words have been linked based...

1. Introduction Not all words, real or novel, are created equal — some sound better than others, either for phonological or for morphological reasons. That is, well-formedness is a gradient notion. One simple way to measure gradient well-formedness is through acceptability ratings. For example, native English speakers generally agree that there are several conceivable past tenses for the made-u...

Researches of more than two decades has affirmed the importance of phonological awareness and its relation to reading acquisition. Chard & Dickson (1999) consider phonological awareness as a "cognitive substrate to reading acquisition" (p.1). This article explains Phonological awareness and its relation to reading acquisition.

Abstract Fake attributives in Chinese are the result of interaction between syntax and prosody. For syntactic reasons, certain objects complex verbal constructions quantifiers cannot be realized situ; but they can spelled out some roundabout ways, one which is to form fake through de -insertion. In forming process attributives, clitic plays an important role, -insertion frequently resorted faci...
