Abstract

The purpose of this study was to know the characteristics of DDK performance between CV(e.g. 'pa') and VV(e.g., 'ai') syllables in typically developing children aged 4 to 6 years old. 12 TD children performed DDK with CV structure(/pʰə/, /tʰə/, /kʰə/, /pʰətʰə/, /tʰəkʰə?/, /pʰətʰəkʰə/) and with VV structure(/ai/, /ɔi/, /ɑɔi/). Spoken syllables were counted in one second, and all spoken DDK were measured by PC-quirer. The results showed that all spoken DDK became faster as the age of children were increased. This trend was also appeared in both CV and VV syllables repetition. In addition, there was no differences in DDK rate with CV and VV syllables. The frequency of articulatory error during DDK performance was very high in the age of 3, and there was no pattern in the frequency of articulatory error according to the developmental age.

본 논문의 목적은 학령전기 정상발달 아동을 대상으로 연령대 증가에 따른 조음 교대운동속도 차이의 경향을 알아보는 데 있다. 조사대상은 생활연령이 4세에서 6세 사이에 해당하는 총 12명의 아동이었고 샘플링 기간은 5월 첫 주, 일주일동안 이었다. 조음교대운동 속도 측정에 사용한 검사 음의 구성은 모음 구조에서 /ai/, /ɔi/, /ɑɔi/ 이며, 자모음 구조에서는 /pʰə/, /tʰə/, /kʰə/, /pʰətʰə/, /tʰəkʰə?/, /pʰətʰəkʰə/이다. 속도 측정은 연령대별로 초당 각 검사음을 반복한 횟수를 기준으로 하였고, PC-quirer의 음성파형을 통해 측정하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연령이 증가할수록 조음교대운동 속도가 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 모음과 자모음 구조의 음성 특성에 따라 조음교대운동 속도에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 연령대 증가에 따른 자음의 구조에서의 조음 교대운동 속도 증가 기울기 변화가 모음구조와 유사하게 나타났다. 셋째, DDK 과업수행에서 나타난 아동들의 반응태도를 분석한 결과 3세 연령에서 DDK 수행시 조음오류 빈도가 가장 높았으며, 4세에서 6세 사이에서 나타난 조음오류빈도수는 다양하였다. 이 연구결과는 자음뿐만 아니라 모음구조의 교대운동과업이 임상적인 평가로써 가치가 있음을 시사하며, 더불어 DDK 속도 평가뿐만 아니라 DDK 수행시 조음오류에 대한 빈도수와 조음유창성이 동시적으로 평가되어야 보다 신뢰롭게 정보를 얻을 수 있음을 제안하고 있다.
