This study aims to explain the difficulties children with articulation and phonological disorders have in producing alveolar fricative sounds. The study will perform a comparative analysis revealing how ordinary children produce alveolar fricative sounds through five different acoustic variables, and consequently identifying objective differences, compared to children with articulation and phonological disorders. Therefore, this study compared and analyzed the differences between 10 children with articulation and phonological disorders and 10 ordinary children according to a phonation type of alveolar fricative sounds (/s/ and /$s^*$), a type of vowel (/i/, /ε/, /u/, /o/, /ɯ/, /ʌ/, /ɑ/), and a structure of syllables (CV, VCV) through acoustic variables including a central moment, skewness, kurtosis, a center of gravity and variance. That is, children with articulation and phonological disorders, when compared to ordinary children, have difficulties with concentrating an agile and momentary friction with strength when articulating alveolar fricative sounds, which uses strong energy and accompany tension. Furthermore, the values of alveolar fricative sounds of children with articulation and phonological disorders appeared to spread evenly over the average range, which means that the range of overall the standard deviation values for children with functional phonological disorders is wider than that of ordinary children. For a future study, if the mispronounced sounds relating to omission, substitution, and addition can be compared and analyzed for various target groups, it could be used effectively to help children with functional phonological disorders.

본 논문에서는인공지능(AI; Artificial Intelligence)알고리즘을 활용한 조음 장애 아동들의 '개인화된 맞춤형 학습' 모바일 애플리케이션을 제시한다. 조음과 관련된 빅데이터(Big Data)를 수집-정제-가공한 데이터 셋(Data Set)으로 학습자의 조음 상황 및 정도를 분석, 판단, 예측한다. 특히, 인공지능 활용 시 기존 애플리케이션에 비해 어떻게 개선되고 고도화할수 있는지를 UX/UI(GUI) 측면에서 바라보고 프로토타입 모델을 설계해 보았다. 지금까지 시각적 경험에 많이 치중해 있었다면, 이제는 데이터를 어떻게 가공하여 사용자에게 UX/UI(GUI) 경험을 제공할 수 있는지가 중요한 시점이다. 제시한 모바일 애플리케이션의 UX/UI(GUI)는 딥러닝(Deep Learning)의 CRNN(Convolution Recurrent Neural Network)과 Auto Encoder GPT-3 (Generative Pretrained Transformer)를 활용하여 학습자의 조음 정도와 상황에 맞게 제공하고자 하였다. 인공지능 알고리즘의 활용은 조음 장애 아동들에게 완성도 높은 학습환경을 제공하여 학습효과를 높일 수 있를 것이다. '개인화된 맞춤형 학습'으로 조음의 완성도를 높여서, 대화에 대한 두려움이나 불편함을 갖지 않길 바란다.

Korean alveolar fricatives are late-developing speech sounds. Most previous research on phonemes used individual words or pseudo words to produce sounds, but word-level phonological analysis does not always reflect a child's practical articulation ability. Also, there has been limited research on articulation development looking at speech production by grammatical morphemes despite its importance in Korean language. Therefore, this research examines the articulation development and phonological patterns of the /s/ phoneme in terms of morphological types produced in children's spontaneous conversational speech. The subjects were twenty-two typically developing 3- and 4-year-old Koreans. All children showed normal levels in three screening tests: hearing, vocabulary, and articulation. Spontaneous conversational samples were recorded at the children's homes. The results are as follows. The error rates decreased with increasing age in all morphological contexts. Also, error percentages within an age group were significantly lower in lexical morphemes than in grammatical morphemes. The stopping of fricative sounds was the main error pattern in all morphological contexts and reduced as age increased. This research shows that articulation performance can differ significantly by morphological contexts. The present study provides data that can be used to identify the difficult context for articulatory evaluation and therapy of alveolar fricative sounds.

With the fourth industrial revolution, digitization is accelerating in all healthcare areas. In the field of dentistry, active discussions on digital dental technologies are ongoing, with increasing interest from clinicians daily. Thus far, accuracy and efficiency have primarily been emphasized in digital dentistry, and interest in occlusion has been relatively low. This is because digital dentistry has been predominantly used to restore small numbers of teeth rather than extensive prosthetic reconstruction. However, in the future, most dental treatments will undergo a digital transformation that will require the application of digital technology to more extensive prosthetic rehabilitation, for which discussion of occlusion is essential. In extensive prosthetic reconstruction, occlusion and articulation involve determining the position of the dental arch in relation to the reference plane of the skull or the long axis of the face and the position of the transverse horizontal axis. It also includes determining an occlusal surface with a shape that allows the mandible to move in an eccentric path and masticate most efficiently without any occlusal interference. To better understand how digitization will impact dentistry, this review article summarizes and discusses occlusion and articulation using digital dental technologies. This discussion is divided into several aspects, including facial scan, virtual articulation, augmented reality, and virtual reality.

This paper attempts to provide a substantial explanation of different prosodic implementations on segments in English and Spanish, arguing that the phonetic modification invoked by prosody may effectively reflect phonological structure. In English, a high front vowel in accented syllables is acoustically realized as higher F1 and F2 frequencies than in unaccented syllables, due to its more peripheral and sonorous articulation (Harrington et al. 1999). In this paper, an acoustic experiment was conducted to see if such a manner of segmental modification invoked by prosody in English extends to other languages such as Spanish. Results show that relatively more prominent syllables entail higher F1 values as a result of their more sonorous articulation in Spanish, but either front or back vowel does not show a higher F2 or a lower F2 frequency. This is interpreted as an indication that a prosodically prominent syllable entails its vocalic enhancement in both horizontal and vertical dimensions of articulation in English. In Spanish, however, only the vertical dimensional articulation is maximized, resulting in a higher F1. I suggest that this difference may be attributed to the different phonological structures of vowels in English and Spanish, and that sonority expansion alone would be sufficient in the articulation of prosodic prominence as long as the phonological distinction of vowels is well retained.

This study investigated the effects of the age of Korean speakers, place of articulation, and phonation types on voice onset time (VOT) of stops. Twenty-five preschoolers, 25 schoolers, and 25 adults who had no history of speech and language impairment produced plosives in /VCV/ words in isolation. A three-way ($3{\times}3{\times}3$) mixed design was used with the age of speakers (preschoolers, schoolers, adults) as a between-subject factor, the place of articulation (bilabials, alveolars, velars) and phonation types (plain, tense, aspirated consonants) as a within-subject factor. The dependent measure was the VOT values. Results revealed that three main effects were statistically significant. Preschoolers exhibited longer VOTs than adults (p<.05). There were significant differences in VOTs among the place of articulation, showing that speakers had the longest VOTs for velars (velars > alvelars > bilabials) (all p<.05). In addition, the VOTs for aspirated consonants were longer than those for plain and tense consonants, and the differences were significant among three phonation types (aspirated > tense > plain) (all p<.05). The current results suggested that VOTs would be linked to age and development, and schoolers over the age of 11 years had achieved adult-like VOTs. Moreover, the place of articulation and phonation types in Korean stops showed marked factors in normal speakers' VOT patterns.

In March 2021, the <Guidance on Promoting the Scientific Interface between Kindergarten and Elementary School> issued by the Ministry of Education of China clearly pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to child oriented. This goal of this policy is based on the idea of "living education" proposed by Mr. Heqin Chen in 1940, which indicates that a true understanding of children is necessary before talking about educating them. The core goal of "bidirectional articulation" is to strengthen the sense of articulation between kindergartens and elementary school, scientifically prepare for and adapt to school enrollment, and promote the smooth transition of children. Moreover, the <Guidance Points for Kindergarten Readiness Education> and the <Guidance Points for Elementary School Adaptation Education>, which were released at the same time as the <Guidance on Promoting the Scientific Interface between Kindergarten and Elementary School>, also place special emphasis on the cultivation of children's life preparation and adaptability. The aim of the bidirectional articulation "bridging" is to realize a two-way exchange of curriculum between kindergarten and elementary school, and to reform the curriculum at three levels through the curriculum spirit of "gamification", the continuous curriculum structure, and the developmental curriculum evaluation.

This is a study on perception errors of Korean stops in word initial position. This study will show how listeners perceive manipulated Korean stops through two experiments and I will analyze why they are confused. In addition, 1 will show those perception errors not only reflect the relationship between the place and manner of articulation but also ate deeply related to the length of aspiration.
