Acoustic realisation of the question-statement contrast in children with dysarthria and cerebral palsy
Full text linkThe speech of children with dysarthria due to cerebral palsy (CP) is characterised by difficulties with respiratory and phonatory control. This can affect how they use acoustic parameters to convey linguistic function such as marking sentence stress or signalling questions and statements. Recent work by the author has revealed that children with dysarthria and CP are able to manipulate duration to mark sentence stress, but are less successful in varying fundamental frequency (f0) and intensity. This raises the question how this group would use acoustic parameters to signal questions and statements – a contrast that in questions without wh-question words primarily relies on f0 modulation. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the children’s ability to mark the question-statement contrast using acoustic parameters, with the ultimate aim to enhance our understanding of functional prosody in children with dysarthria and CP. The findings suggest that the children with CP use acoustic parameters differently from their typically-developing peers to mark questions and statements. Perceptual studies will establish to what extent this affects listeners’ ability to identify questions and statements

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Akustische Analysen in der Dysarthriediagnostik bei Kindern mit infantiler Zerebralparese : Überblick
Full text linkDer Beitrag befasst sich mit der Anwendung akustischer Sprachsignalanalysen zur klinischen Diagnostik von Dysarthrien bei Kindern mit infantiler Cerebralparese (ICP). Es werden verschiedene akustische Parameter vorgestellt und ihre diagnostische Bedeutung wird in Beziehung zu den Funktionskreisen des Sprechens gesetzt. Acoustic analyses can be a useful addition to assess dysarthria features in children with cerebral palsy (CP). This paper introduces a range of acoustic parameters and outlines their relevance for the assessment of different speech subsystems

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
