Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written in response to several demands. Of course, the information presented in it is available in several other books and journal articles on fluency and stuttering. Nevertheless, the book puts together information that most books and journal articles have not considered in the literature commonly available in India, with the exception of articles in international journals. This information will be helpful to graduate students, researchers, and faculty, I hope. Several books have provided extensive literature on particular topics, but a comprehensive compilation is not available. Therefore, this book is written. Stuttering is a heterogenous disorder of speech, and unlike other speech disorders, it has much variability in terms of time, situation, a person with whom the Persons With Stuttering (PWS) are communicating etc. Also, it appears that there may be sub-groups among PWS. Several hypotheses have been postulated to understand normal speech production, but this area is still naïve as none of the theories address all of the questions related to stuttering and its treatment. To understand and diagnose stuttering, it is extremely important to know about fluency. Thus, this book covers definitions of fluency, disfluency and dysfluency in chapter 1, fluency development in normal children in chapter 2, the anatomical and physiological bases of fluency in chapter 3, the acoustic basis of fluency in chapter 4, genetic basis in chapter 5, and linguistic basis in chapter 6. Of course there are additional bases of fluency, such as psychological or prosodic, which are not covered in the book. The reason is that Children With Stuttering (CWS), especially in the initial stages, may not have any psychological basis, and prosody- intonation, stress, and rhythm - is difficult to measure. Yet, some parts of prosody like stress and rhythm are covered as fluency enhancers in chapters 1 and 2. Relevant journal articles are reviewed and presented where necessary. I thought that in the last chapter, I would try synthesizing all the information presented in the first six chapters. However, the views of authors are so diverse that there are probabilities of sub-groups within PWS. The data so far collected on typical children is mostly in English and it is insufficient to build a database in English or other languages. The data in English may not be useful to other languages owing to variations in phonetic and syllabic structure, stress and rhythm. Hence, a multicentric and multilingual database in typical children and adults is warranted. Though the book is titled Fluency, most of the literature comes from experiments on stuttering, or what could have contributed to fluency failures in PWS. From abnormal fluency, we are trying to deduce an understanding of normal fluency in CWS and PWS. Further, as I have observed, spectrograms and glottograms of fluency failures (repetitions) of PWS, reveal that the repetitions may be because PWS are not reaching the target phoneme and hence they keep iterating speech over and again to reach the target phoneme, which they may or may not achieve. These are mostly on respiratory, laryngeal, and articulatory efforts, neural commands, and may be the lack of coordination of these sub-systems. Most of these so called repetitions are on stop consonants and hence, the listener may be unable to differentiate the bursts, aspirations, and voicing of various stop consonants as they are very minute events. For example, a burst may be of a duration of 3-11 ms. Therefore, more carful observations on these aspects are warranted. The book is an attempt to put together what we really know about fluency and its clinical application. The final goal in the research of fluency is a complete understanding of the speech production system in typical children and adults, which is unavailable at present. But something valuable is better than nothing, and several scientists have provided it.
Download or read book Communication Sciences and Disorders written by Dale F. Williams and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few activities can match the complexity of human communication. Given its intricacy, it is understandable that the process will not always work properly. When it doesn't, the effects can be devastating, given how much of everyday life depends on communicating with one another. Despite its importance, however, much is still unclear about how we turn thoughts into language and then speech. Debates rage over various components of the communication system. Myths abound, most based on nothing more than speculation and misinformation. It all makes for a fascinating area of study and practice, particularly when considering the importance of the topic. This book provides readers with the basics of human communication without shying away from the controversies. Dale F. Williams, Ph.D. utilizes a panel of internationally recognized experts in all areas of the field to clearly explain normal communication as well as disorders of speech, language, hearing, and swallowing. Topics that overlap all disorders—diagnosis, treatment, research, ethics, work settings, and multicultural issues—are also covered in a reader-friendly style. In addition to the relevant information on human communication, the book also includes first-hand accounts of both people with disorders and those who work with them. Discussion questions are posed to help readers explore the gray areas and additional readings are described for those wishing to research specific topics. In these ways, readers are provided with information that truly helps them to understand communication sciences and disorders from a variety of perspectives. Communication Sciences and Disorders: An Introduction to the Professions is essential reading for anyone contemplating a career in speech-language pathology or audiology. In addition, the clear and entertaining writing style makes the field, in all its complexity, accessible to anyone with even a passing interest in the process of human communication.

Download or read book Multilingual Aspects of Fluency Disorders written by Peter Howell and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2011-05-11 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains contributions by scholars working on diverse aspects of speech who bring their findings to bear on the practical issue of how to treat stuttering in different language groups and in multilingual speakers. The book considers classic issues in speech production research, as well as whether regions of the brain that are affected in people who stutter relate to areas used intensively in fluent bilingual speech. It then reviews how formal language properties and differential use of parts of language affect stuttering in English, and then compares these findings to work on stuttering in a variety of languages. Finally, the book addresses methodological issues to do with studies on bilingualism and stuttering; and discusses which approach is appropriate in the treatment of bilingual and multilingual people who stutter.
