OverviewIntelligibility is the sine qua non of spoken language and disorders that impair it are among the most serious disorders of communication. The papers in this volume, written by authors experienced in intelligibility issues in speech pathology and related fields, describe the basic dimensions - auditory, perceptual, linguistic, accoustic and physiologic - by which speech intelligibility can and must be understood. Only relatively recently has there been significant progress in formal intelligibility assessment and few, if any, books have been published on intelligibility concerns in speech pathology. This book aims to encourage further invention in research and clinical efforts relating to this essential aspect of speech and language performance. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Raymond D.
