Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate prosodic characteristics of cerebral palsic adults' speech. The results showed some correlations between their articulation scores and prosodic properties of their speech: speakers with low articulation scores showed slower speech rate, larger number of IPs and pauses, and longer duration of pauses. They also showed steeper slopes of [L +H] in their APs.
