What makes Childhood Apraxia of Speech distinctive from other speech disorders?
To be able to understand why Childhood Apraxia of Speech is distinctive, you first must understand a little bit concerning the key kinds of speech issues.
Gebreiyesus Mekt at Hawassa university
This document discusses various linguistic concepts related to co-articulation in phonology, including:
- Co-articulation refers to how speech sounds are affected by surrounding sounds when produced.
- Double articulation involves simultaneously producing two consonants with the same manner of articulation at two different places of articulation, like /w/.
- Secondary articulation adds an additional articulatory process like labialization, palatalization, velarization, pharyngealization, or nasalization to a sound. Languages use these processes contrastively.
Hawassa university
This document discusses various phonological concepts:
1. Coarticulation refers to how speech sounds are affected by surrounding sounds through small changes in articulation.
2. Double articulation involves simultaneously producing two consonants with the same manner of articulation at different places of articulation, like /kp/.
3. Secondary articulation adds an additional articulatory process like labialization or palatalization to a sound. There are several major types including labialization, palatalization, velarization, pharyngealization, and nasalization.
Phonetics and phonology of english
The document discusses different manners of articulation for English consonants. It describes stops as sounds involving complete closure of the oral cavity, while continuants allow continuous air flow. Continuants include fricatives and approximants. Sounds are also classified as sonorants, which involve continuous airflow, versus obstruents, which cause airflow obstruction and turbulence. The document outlines a system for distinguishing consonants based on whether they are continuants or stops, and whether they are sonorants or obstruents.

Examples are provided to demonstrate different sounds, such as the 'th' sound. The classification of vowels is explained according to aspects like tongue height and position. Consonant sounds are classified based on their manner of articulation, such as stops, fricatives, and nasals, as well as place of articulation in the mouth.

The document discusses 5 ways to improve public speaking skills like Barack Obama: 1) Consider the audience's interests and needs. 2) Keep messages simple and concise. 3) Consider multiple perspectives on issues. 4) Pause to breathe and speak deliberately. 5) Remain calm, assertive and relaxed. It then provides tips for non-native English speakers to improve their American English pronunciation with a focus on vowel sounds, consonant release, word stress, and intonation. Live training with native speakers is presented as the most effective approach.
Ipa pronunciation session[1]
This document outlines an open tutoring session on using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) effectively for pronunciation. It identifies the objectives of becoming familiar with phonetic symbols and their sounds, differences between English and Spanish phonetic systems, and resources for practice. Examples are provided to illustrate consonant and vowel sounds. Strategies are suggested to learn symbols, and exercises practice pronunciation of words with different sounds. Tongue twisters are also included to reinforce sounds. The importance of using IPA is that it makes learning pronunciation easier and allows differentiation of similar words. Suggestions are provided to identify sounds and symbols and use IPA daily.

Dita Larasati's pronunciation of various sounds like /ð/, /ɵ/, /ʒ/, /ʤ/, /ʧ/, and /ʃ/ were analyzed based on suprasegmental features of stress and intonation. Words like "birthday", "this", and "television" were produced with correct initial stress. Sentences like "please come to my birthday party" and "i like to watch television" showed proper placement of stress on certain words. Intonation was also analyzed in sentences containing words like "much" and stress was found to convey different meanings depending on the emphasized words. Overall, Dita was observed to properly apply stress and intonation in her pronunciation.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a neurological disorder where children have difficulty planning and coordinating the movements needed to speak, despite knowing what they want to say. Children with CAS may exhibit inconsistent sounds, groping movements of the mouth, and great effort to produce speech. Treatment focuses on consistent practice of sounds and signs to supplement communication. While progress varies, mild cases may achieve typical speech, while more severe cases may benefit from devices to communicate.
