This study examined the effects of phonetic complexity and articulatory severity on Percentage of Correct Consonant (PCC) and speech intelligibility in adults with dysarthria. Speech samples of thirty-two words from APAC (Assessment of Phonology and Articulation of Children) were collected from 38 dysarthric speakers with one of two different levels of articulatory severities (mild or mild-moderate). A PCC and speech intelligibility score was calculated by the 4 levels of phonetic complexity. Two-way mixed ANOVA analysis revealed: (1) the group with mild severity showed significantly higher PCC and speech intelligibility scores than the mild-moderate articulatory severity group, (2) PCC at the phonetic complexity level 4 was significantly lower than those at the other levels and (3) an interaction effect of articulatory severity and phonetic complexity was observed only on the PCC. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated the degree of correlation between PCC and speech intelligibility varied depending on the level of articulatory severity and phonetic complexity. The clinical implications of the findings were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between segmental correctness and speech intelligibility in adults with hearing impairment. Segmental correctness was measured by percentage of correct vowels(PCV) and percentage of correct consonants(PCC). The results were shown as follows: First, PCV and PCC could predict speech intelligibility with statistical significance. Second, in consonant classes divided by place and manner of articulation, the PCC of plosives and alveolar sounds were significant predicting variables in each group ($R^{2}=50%;\;59%$). According to this study, the importance of segmental correctness on speech intelligibility of adults with hearing impairment was confirmed. Also correctness of plosive sounds in manner and alveolar sounds in place were significant factors to speech intelligibility.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the phonological error patterns of korean children with and without specific phonological disorders(SPD). In this study, 29 normally developing children and 10 SPD children were involved. The children were matched the percentage of consonants correct(PCC). 22 picture cards were used to elicit korean consonants in word initial syllable initial, word medial syllable initial, word medial syllable final, word final syllable final positions. The findings were as follows. First, the phonological error patterns of SPD were 1) similar to those of normal children with the same PCC, 2) similar to those of normal children with the lower PCC, or 3) unusual to those of normal children. Second,. korean children showed phonological processes reflecting the korean phonological characteristics: tensification, reduction of the word medial syllable final consonant. This study suggests that both the PCC and error patterns should be considered in assessing phonological abilities of children.

본 연구는 단어 및 자발화 평가를 통해 학령전 아동의 말소리 산출 특성과 평가 관련 양상을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 3-5세 일반아동 72명(연령별 각각 24명)을 대상으로 아동용발음검사(APAC)를 실시하고, 연령과 성별에 따른 자음정확도와 명료도의 차이, 자음정확도와 명료도 간 상관관계, 자음 위치 및 조음 방법에 따른 말소리 오류 패턴을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 자음정확도와 명료도는 연령에 따라 증가하였으나 성별에 따른 차이는 없었고, 상관관계는 5세 집단에서 통계적으로 유의했으며, 말소리 오류 패턴 또한 두 평가에서 다르게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 아동의 말소리 산출이 언어단위에 따라 다르게 나타나기에, 이들의 말소리 능력을 적절히 파악하려면 단어뿐 아니라 자발화 평가가 병행되어야 함을 보여주었다. 이는 단어에 대한 자음정확도만으로 언어장애 등급을 판정하는 현재 기준에 대한 재검토와 추가적인 연구가 필요함을 시사한다.

The current study examines PCC (percentage of correct consonant), speech intelligibility, and oral motor function between the group of typically developing children and the group of children with Down's syndrome. To 15 children with Down's syndrome (mean CA: 9;7) and 15 typically developing children on receptive language age, the following tests were administered: K-WPPSI (2001), Picture Vocabulary Test (Kim et al., 1995), Oral and Speech Motor Control Protocol for total oral functional score (Robbins et al., 1987), DDK and Assessment of Phonology and Articulation for Children (APAC, Kim et al., 2007) for PCC and speech intelligibility. Pearson correlation coefficients were computed for the total oral functional score, PCC and DDK of each group. The statistical analysis showed that there is no significant difference in total functional score and DDK when IQ was controlled. There was a significant correlation between total oral functional score and PCC in the Down's syndrome group and a significant correlation between total oral functional score and intelligibility in the Down's syndrome group whether IQ was controlled or not. The findings suggest that both cognitive ability and overall oral motor function need to be considered for the intervention to enhance PCC or speech intelligibility of children with Down's syndrome.

본 연구는 표준문단 읽기 과제를 사용하여 얻어진 동일한 말샘플을 통하여 마비말장애 성인의 자음정확도와 비음치가 말명료도 및 말용인도에 미치는 직접적인 영향을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구 대상은 마비말장애 성인 10명과 일반 성인 16명이었다. 비음치 측정을 위한 과제로는 모음 연장, 구강음과 비강음 문장, 표준문단 읽기를 사용하였으며, 동일한 표준문단을 사용하여 자음정확도를 측정한 후, 평정자 20명에게 시각적 아날로그 척도를 사용하여 말명료도, 말용인도를 평정하게 하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 구강음과 비강음 문장, 표준문단에서는 마비말장애 성인 집단의 비음치가 일반 성인 집단에 비해 유의하게 높게 나타났으나, 모음연장에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 둘째, 마비말장애 성인의 자음정확도는 말명료도 및 말용인도와 유의한 상관을 보였으나, 비음치는 말명료도 및 말용인도와 유의한 상관을 보이지 않았다. 자음정확도를 통제한 상황에서도 비음치는 말명료도 및 말용인도와 유의한 상관을 보이지 않았다. 셋째, 회귀분석 결과 마비말장애 성인의 자음정확도가 말명료도와 말용인도에 미치는 영향이 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 마비말장애 성인의 자음정확도는 말명료도, 말용인도와 밀접한 관련이 있으나, 비음치는 말명료도 및 말용인도와의 상관이 유의하지 않음을 알 수 있다.
