This SIG 19 activity bundles four articles providing perspectives on a broad variety of
topics in speech science and speech-language pathology.
First, Gurevich and Kim (2023) discuss how their new speech material includes
higher phonetic coverage and crucial linguistic features for intelligibility testing. They
provide functional importance to intelligibility (FITI) word lists in various contexts. Their
FITI lists achieve much higher phonetic and phonemic coverage than the three routinely
used passages. Speech-language pathologists could utilize these FITI lists in their
assessments.
Gurevich and Kim (2024) describe the newly constructed list of phrases following
the FITI hierarchy to assess intelligibility. They present their lists of phrases in
autonomous modules that will allow clinicians to adapt and evaluate according to the
time constraints during intelligibility testing.
Ochs et al. (2023) discuss findings indicating the effectiveness of an intervention
delivered via telepractice, including a combination of biofeedback and motor-based
treatment for residual speech disorder affecting /?/. Speech-language pathologists can
combine traditional and visual–acoustic feedback in their clinical practice.
Jackson and Chung (2023) investigate the acoustic characteristics of Korean and
English /l/ in Korean–English bilingual children. Their findings indicate significant
differences between Korean and English speakers’ first and second formant (F1 and F2)
values in word-final positions. They suggest that language background should be
carefully considered while assessing bilingual and multilingual children.
Learning
Outcomes
You will be able to:
