A Study of Articulation Intelligibility in Children with Speech Sound Disorders
To compare the articulation intelligibility of children with speech sound disorders (SSD) under monoglossia and diglossia use
to analyze the effect of the type of languages used in daily life on articulation intelligibility
and to provide a theoretical basis for language selection during speech training.
Methods
2
Children with SSDs were surveyed on their daily use of language
and their articulation intelligibility was scored using the Articulation Speech Ability Assessment Word List developed by Huang Zhaoming and Han Zhijuan and the Phonemic Comparison Scale for Assessment of Conformational Phonological Ability. 500 children were selected
of whom 348 were monoglossia and 152 were diglossia.
Results
2
Two-way ANOVA for articulation intelligibility of different language types (monoglossia
diglossia) and different ages (under 4 years old
4-6 years old
6 years old and above) showed that the main effect of language type was significant (
P
<0.05)
and the average articulation intelligibility under diglossia was better than that of monoglossia. The main effect of age was significant
the articulation intelligibility of the group aged 6 better than the group aged 4-6
which was better than the group aged under 4. The interaction between age and language type was not significant.
Conclusion
2
Children with SSDs who use diglossia have better articulation intelligibility
articulation intelligibility improves with age
and the effect of language type does not change with age; early intervention and rehabilitation can be conducted using diglossia without changing to monoglossia.
