This document summarizes the physiology of speech and articulation. It discusses the central and peripheral mechanisms involved in speech production. The central speech apparatus includes cortical and subcortical centers, while the peripheral apparatus includes structures like the larynx, pharynx, mouth, and lips. Speech develops through associating words with sensations and establishing neuronal pathways between auditory and motor areas. The key cortical areas involved are Wernicke's area for understanding speech, Broca's area for speech synthesis, and motor areas for activating articulators. Nervous control involves these cortical areas and subcortical structures coordinated by the dominant hemisphere. Common speech disorders are also briefly outlined.

The Brocas area is located in the frontal part of the brain on the.pdfannaistrvlr
The Broca\'s area is located in the frontal part of the brain on the left hemisphere. ... Thus, when
Broca\'s aphasia occurs, it can have a debilitating effect on the person\'s communication skills.
The damage forces people to speak in fragmented sentences that include only nouns and verbs.
The Wernicke\'s area is located in the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain and is
responsible for the comprehension of speech (Broca\'s area is related to the production of
speech). ... When this area of the brain is damaged, a disorder known as Wernicke\'s aphasia can
result
The ventral stream is associated with object recognition and form representation. Also described
as the \"what\" stream, it has strong connections to the medial temporal lobe(which stores long-
term memories), the limbic system (which controls emotions), and the dorsal stream (which
deals with object locations and motion).All the areas in the ventral stream are influenced by
extraretinal factors in addition to the nature of the stimulus in their receptive field. These factors
include attention, working memory, and stimulus salience. Thus the ventral stream does not
merely provide a description of the elements in the visual world—it also plays a crucial role in
judging the significance of these elements.Damage to the ventral stream can cause inability to
recognize faces or interpret facial expression
The function of the dorsal pathway is to map auditory sensory representations onto articulatory
motor representations. Hickok & Poeppel claim that the dorsal pathway is necessary because,
\"learning to speak is essentially a motor learning task. The primary input to this is sensory,
speech in particular. So, there must be a neural mechanism that both codes and maintains
instances of speech sounds, and can use these sensory traces to guide the tuning of speech
gestures so that the sounds are accurately reproduced.Conduction aphasia affects a subject\'s
ability to reproduce speech (typically by repetition), though it has no influence on the subject\'s
ability to comprehend spoken language. This shows that conduction aphasia must reflect an
impairment of the ventral pathway but instead of the dorsal pathway. Hickok and Poeppel found
that conduction aphasia can be the result of damage, particularly lesions, to the Spt (Sylvian
parietal temporal). This is shown by the Spt\'s involvement in acquiring new vocabulary, for
while experiments have shown that most conduction aphasiacs can repeat high-frequency, simple
words, their ability to repeat low-frequency, complex words is impaired.
Hippocampal damage can result in anterograde amnesia: loss of ability to form new memories,
although older memories may be safe. Thus, someone who sustains an injury to the hippocampus
may have good memory of his childhood and the years before the injury, but relatively little
memory for anything that happened since.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

PHYSIOLOGY OF SPEECH & ARTICULATION
1. Physiology of
Speech & Articulation
Dr. Aniket A. Shilwant
Assistant Professor
Dept. of Kriya Sharir
GJPIASR, CVM University
2. Introduction
Speech is defined as the expression of thoughts by production of articulate
sound, bearing a definite meaning.
It is one of the highest functions of brain.
When a sound is produced verbally, it is called the Speech.
If it is expressed by visual symbols, it is known as Writing.
If visual symbols or written words expressed verbally, known as Reading.
3. Mechanism of Speech
Coordination between Central Speech Apparatus & Peripheral Speech
Apparatus.
Central speech apparatus consists of higher centers, i.e. the cortical and
subcortical centers.
Peripheral speech apparatus includes larynx or sound box, pharynx,
mouth, nasal cavities, tongue and lips.
4. Development of Speech
First Stage
First stage in the development of speech is the association of certain words
with visual, tactile, auditory and other sensations, aroused by objects in the
external world. Association of words with other sensations is stored as
memory.
Second Stage
New neuronal circuits are established during the development of speech.
When a definite meaning has been attached to certain words, pathway
between the auditory area (Heschl area; area 41) and motor area for the
muscles of articulation, which helps in speech (Broca area 44) is established.
The child attempts to formulate and pronounce the learnt words.
5. Role of Cortical Areas in Development of
Speech
Development of speech involves integration of three important areas of
cerebral cortex:
1. Wernicke area – Speech understanding Area
2. Broca area – Speech synthesis Area
3. Motor area – Peripheral Speech Apparatus Activation
6. Role of Wernicke area – Speech understanding
Understanding of speech begins in Wernicke area that is situated in upper part
of temporal lobe. It sends fibers to Broca area through a tract called arcuate
fasciculus.
Wernicke area is responsible for understanding the visual and auditory
information required for the production of words. After understanding the
words, it sends the information to Broca area.
Role of Broca area – Speech synthesis
Speech is synthesized in the Broca area. It is situated adjacent to the motor area,
responsible for the movements of tongue, lips and larynx, which are necessary
Role of Cortical Areas in Development of
Speech
7. for speech. By receiving information required for production of words from
Wernicke area, the Broca area develops the pattern of motor activities required
to verbalize the words. The pattern of motor activities is sent to motor area.
Role of motor area – Activation of peripheral speech apparatus
By receiving the pattern of activities from Broca area, motor area activates the
peripheral speech apparatus. It results in initiation of movements of tongue,
lips and larynx required for speech. Later, when the child is taught to read,
auditory speech is associated with visual symbols (area 18).
Then, there is an association of the auditory and visual areas with the motor
area for the muscles of hand. Now, the child is able to express auditory and
visual impressions in the form of written words.
Role of Cortical Areas in Development of
Speech
8. Nervous control over Speech
Speech is an integrated and a well-coordinated motor phenomenon. So,
many parts of cortical and subcortical areas are involved in the mechanism
of speech.
Subcortical areas concerned with speech are controlled by cortical areas of
dominant hemisphere.
In about 95% of human beings, the left cerebral hemisphere is functionally
dominant and those persons are right handed.

Communication disorder characterized by disrupted speech.
I. Aphasia
II. Anarthria or Dysarthria
III. Dysphonia
IV. Stammering.
APHASIA (in Greek, Aphasia = without speech)
Aphasia is defined as the loss or impairment of speech due to brain damage.
Developmental disorders – Poor development or atrophy of damage of speech
centers.
Aphasia is not due to paralysis of muscles of articulation.
16. APHASIA
Types of Aphasia
Aphasia is classified by different methods. The simple and convenient clinical
classification divides aphasia into five types:
1. Broca aphasia / Anterior / Expressive / Non-Fluent
2. Wernicke aphasia / Posterior / Receptive / Fluent
3. Global aphasia
4. Nominal aphasia / Anomic / Amnesic
5. Other types of aphasia
Motor Aphasia - Verbal / Dyspraxia / Apraxia
Sensory Aphasia - Auditory Aphasia / Visual Aphasia (Dyslexia)
Agraphia
17. DYSARTHRIA OR ANARTHRIA
The term dysarthria refers to disturbed articulation.
Anarthria means inability to speak.
Dysarthria or anarthria is defined as the difficulty or inability to speak because of
paralysis or ataxia of muscles involved in articulation.
DYSPHONIA
Dysphonia is a voice disorder.
Often, it is characterized by hoarseness and a sore or a dry throat.
Hoarseness means the difficulty in producing sound while trying to speak or a
change in the pitch or loudness of voice. The voice may be weak, breathy, scratchy
or husky.
18. STAMMERING
Stammering or shuttering is a speech disorder characterized by hesitations and
involuntary repetitions of certain syllables or words. It is also described as a
speech disorder in which normal flow of speech is disturbed by repetitions,
prolongations or abnormal block or stoppage of sound and syllables. It is due
to the neurological incoordination of speech and it is common in children.
Stammering is associated with some unusual facial and body movements. Exact
cause for stammering is not known. It is thought that stammering may be due
to genetic factors, brain damage, neurological disorders or anxiety.
