Intonation and Speech Rate in Dysarthric Speech.

Le Dorze, Guylaine; And Others

Journal of Communication Disorders, v27 n1 p1-18 Mar 1994

Ten adults with dysarthria of various etiologies, type, and severity were compared to age-matched and gender-matched nondysarthric speakers on 40 short sentences. Results indicated reduced intonation values for the dysarthric group and varying rates as a function of subject group and sentence type. Results suggest that dysarthria is a deficit in performance rather than competence. (Author/DB)
