Some phonology problems from functional speech disorders
Main Article Content
Abstract
Speech pathology researchers and clinicians have traditionally appealed to various aspects of linguistics for the purpose of description and diagnosis of children's misarticulations. A number of linguistically oriented tests have been developed within speech pathology to identify (1) the sounds that occur in the child's phonetic inventory (Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation, 1969), (2) the role of context on articulation (McDonald Deep Test, 1964), and most recently, (3) the phonological processes presumed to be operating in the child's misarticulated speech (Weiner's Phonological Process Analysis, 1979; Hodson's Assessment of Phonological Processes, 1980). To the extent that these tests appeal to fundamental aspects of linguistics, it should be clear that linguists can contribute to the understanding of these and other concepts. The Speech and Hearing Sciences Department at Indiana University recognizes the benefits of training in linguistics by requiring their students to take at least one introductory- level course on 1inguistic analysis. Analysis courses here are typically taught through a data-based,problem-solving approach. These data-based problems are drawn from foreign languages, which may not always seem especially relevant to the concerns of speech pathologists. While we believe that it is important for all students to be exposed to the workings of language generally, the issue of relevance to speech pathology can be addressed easily with the introduction of a few databased problems drawn from children's speech disorders. These problems not only address directly the interests of speech pathology students but also serve the function of acquainting other students with the (mis)workings of language.
