TL;DR: Investigation of how 40 typical speakers with Finnish accent performed in speech assessment through Dysartribedomningen, a Swedish dysarthria assessment instrument indicated that the performances of the Finnish participant group were estimated as more deviant than the Swedish, considering all areas.
Abstract: The aim of this paper was to investigate how 40 typical speakers
with Finnish accent, aged 65-84 years, performed in speech assessment
through Dysartribedomningen, a Swedish dysarthria assessment instrument.
Their results were compared with results of a matched Swedish native
speaking reference group. Both groups were assessed in areas of
function/structure, prosody/intelligibility and through a survey on
communication. Results indicated that the performances of the Finnish
participant group were estimated as more deviant than the Swedish,
considering all areas. The Finnish participants were deviant in articulation
and they had a significantly lower speech rate in reading. They also had
significantly lower scores in intelligibility compared to the reference group.
The results of the survey of communication showed that the Finnish
participants estimated their levels of activity and participation to be
significantly more limited compared to the reference group. Results raise the
question if Dysartribedomningen can be considered valid in assessment of
accented speech.

TL;DR: This paper investigated how much variance in Parkinson's disease individuals' speech intelligibility could be predicted by seven speech fluency indicators (i.e., repetition, omission, distortion, correction, unfilled pauses, filled pauses, and speaking rate).
Abstract: The purpose of the study is to investigate how much of variance in Parkinson's Disease (PD) individuals' speech intelligibility could be predicted by seven speech fluency indicators (i.e., repetition, omission, distortion, correction, unfilled pauses, filled pauses, and speaking rate). Speech data were retrieved from a database containing a reading task produced by a group of 16 English-speaking individuals with PD (Jaeger, Trivedi & Stadtchnitzer, 2019). The results from a multiple regression indicated that an addition of 54% of variance in the speech intelligibility scores among individuals with PD could be accounted for after the speakers' PD severity level measured based on Hoehn and Yahr's (1967) disease stage was included as a covariate. In addition, omission and correction were the two fluency indicators that contributed to the general intelligibility score in a statistically significant way. Specifically, for every one-unit gain in the number of correction and omission, speech intelligibility scores would decline by 0.687 and 0.131 point (out of a 7-point scale), respectively. The current study hence supported Magee, Copland, and Vogel's (2019) view that the language production abilities and quantified dysarthria measures among individuals with PD should be explored together. Additionally, the clinical implications based on the current findings were discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of person references produced by people with dysarthria in conversation with family members is presented, showing that person references are vulnerable to becoming trouble sources given their potential ambiguity or relatively weak relationship to immediately prior talk.
Abstract: This chapter provides an analysis of talk between people with acquired motor speech disorders (dysarthria) and family members. Using conversation analytical principles it focuses on how person references are treated as trouble sources in everyday interaction, how they arise and are collaboratively managed. Following a review of relevant literature we present a detailed examination of person references produced by people with dysarthria in conversation with family members. We will show that person references are vulnerable to becoming trouble sources given their potential ambiguity or relatively weak relationship to immediately prior talk.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of speech and language abnormalities in myotonic dystrophy patients is presented, which highlights that irrespective of age, all DM patients (i.e. congenital, juvenile, and adult onset) exhibit various degrees of speech impairments.
