TLDR
Intonation contrasts produced by speakers with Parkinson's disease contribute to the researchers' understanding of intonation marking in speakers with PD, with specific application to the production and perception of int onation in a lexical tone language.
Abstract
Purpose Speech produced by individuals with hypokinetic dysarthria associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by a number of features including impaired speech prosody. The purpose o...

Sensorimotor control of vocal pitch production in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The results showed that Cantonese individuals with PD produced significantly larger magnitudes of vocal compensation for pitch perturbations than healthy participants, and both groups showed systematic changes in compensation magnitude as a function of perturbation size and direction.

A cross-linguistic perspective to the study of dysarthria in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: The aim of this opinion article is to identify the currently scarce theoretical and clinical avenues for cross-linguistic studies of dysarthria in Parkinson’s disease, and to establish guidelines that would lead future research in this direction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustic Investigation of Stress Patterns in Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: A reduced ability to express stress seems to be the distinctive pattern of hypokinetic dysarthria, even in the early stages of PD, and the introduction of speech therapy may be rewarding.

Rhythmic performance in hypokinetic dysarthria: Relationship between reading, spontaneous speech and diadochokinetic tasks.

TL;DR: Speech rhythm in people with Parkinson’s Disease and controls was investigated and PwPD showed less difference between reading and spontaneous speech, while DDK performance did not relate to rhythmic behaviour in connected speech.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Relationship Between Speech Production and Speech Perception Deficits in Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: Auditory perceptual deficits may influence speech production in patients with Parkinson's disease and the present results suggest a disturbed auditory perception related to an automatic monitoring deficit in PD.

Parkinsonism: Onset, progression, and mortality

TL;DR: Controversy over the effectiveness of therapeutic measures for parkinsonism is due partially to this wide variability and to the paucity of clinical information about the natural history of the syndrome.

Vocal communication of emotion: a review of research paradigms

TL;DR: It is suggested to use the Brunswikian lens model as a base for research on the vocal communication of emotion, which allows one to model the complete process, including both encoding, transmission, and decoding of vocal emotion communication.

Differential Diagnostic Patterns of Dysarthria

TL;DR: Thirty-second speech samples were studied of at least 30 patients in each of 7 discrete neurologic groups, each patient unequivocally diagnosed as being a representative of his diagnostic group, leading to results leading to these conclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clusters of deviant speech dimensions in the dysarthrias.

TL;DR: Correlation matrices were used to demonstrate co-occurrence of deviant speech dimensions observed and led to the emergence of eight distinctive clusters of dysfunction, which may serve as hypotheses for more accurate physiologic and neurophysiologic measurements.

Frequency and Cooccurrence of Vocal Tract Dysfunctions in the Speech of a Large Sample of Parkinson Patients

TL;DR: In this study, the frequency of occurrence of speech and voice symptoms in 200 Parkinson patients was defined by two expert listeners from high-fidelity tape recordings of conversational speech samples and readings of the sentence version of the Fisher-Logemann Test of Articulation Competence.
