Reception of Emotions Expressed in the Prosy by Children with Damaged Hearing System
Hearing damage causes difficulties in perception not only of segmented speech components but also of suprasegmental structures. As a result, many functions performed by the prosody of speech, which are important for the understanding and interpretation of language communication, become unavailable to people with impaired hearing. The article presents the results of own research on perception of emotions encoded in the prosody of speech (happiness, sadness and anger) by children with prelingual hearing damage. The obtained results indicate that children’s ability to perceive emotions expressed prosodically is significantly reduced when compared with normal-hearing children’s. Difficulties in this respect increase proportionally to the hearing loss severity.
Key words: prosody, hearing damage, perception of prosodic phenomena

Influence of Music and Movement Exercises on the Development of Prosodic Competences in Five‑ and Six‑year‑old Children
This article presents the results of my study of the effect of music exercise and music and movement exercise on the development of prosodic competencies among five‑ and six‑year‑old children whose phonetic and phonological system is at the end of its dynamic development. This period is marked with very intensive development of the ability to perceive specific characteristics of prosodic speech units. The aim of the study was to evaluate this effect. The main objectives of conducted experiment were to examine the prosodic competences in terms of perception as well as to develop and implement a treatment program connected with shaping perception skills in terms of elements common to speech and music (such features as: height, volume, time and duration; and such phenomena as: speed, rhythm, melody, intonation), which in turn would lead to an increase in the level of prosodic competences. An experimental research method with the selection of a parallel group was applied in the experiment. The test procedure included a study on physiological hearing and an examination of the perception of prosodic speech in children from experimental and control groups.
Key words: prosodic speech, prosodic competences, logorythmics, ways of improving prosody

Typical and episodic features of voice, prosody and breathing disorders in the statements of people with cardiovascular diseases

Ewa Binkuńska , Magdalena Zając

Published: 30-06-2024 | Abstract | pp. 1-28

Voice and prosody disorders are among the abnormalities that accompany selected systemic diseases, including lifestyle diseases. In this second group of dysfunctions, circulatory system diseases occupy a high position. Attempts to determine not only primary, but also secondary disorders and their causes are part of activities providing highly specialized cardiological care, but also support the implementation of possible rehabilitation activities – currently largely including physiotherapy. One of the basic disorders coexisting with cardiovascular diseases are breathing dysfunctions, which in turn reduces the quality of communication – voice formation and the use of the prosodic layer of speech. The text presents the results of a survey conducted on a group of 90 people diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the procedure was to determine whether the respondents had voice, prosody and breathing disorders, which of them occurred during the course of the disease and whether they constitute a factor that, according to the respondents, reduces the quality of their expression and communication. The survey results allow for the identification of the dominant and less frequently occurring disorders in people with cardiovascular diseases.

Effects of speaker gender and child age on the prosody of parentese: cross-linguistic evidence

Paul Corthals

Published: 01-01-2014 | Abstract

Effects of speaker gender and child age on the prosody of parentese: cross-linguistic evidence „Spieszczenia” to wyrażenia językowe, jakimi posługują się dorośli, mówiąc do dzieci. Ich funkcją jest regulowanie pobudzenia i komunikowanie emocji. Ich suprasegmentalna prozodia ułatwia naukę języka. Ta „pouczająca prozodia” jest porównywana w języku angielskim i holenderskim oraz pomiędzy mową męską i żeńską, adresowaną do dzieci w wieku 0,5–2,4 lat. Zostały szczegółowo określone różnice w prozodii pomiędzy próbkami mowy kierowanej do dziecka i mowy kierowanej do dorosłych. Wykonano analizę ANCOVA, traktując parametry prozodii jako zmienne zależne, płeć dorosłych oraz język – jako stałe, a wiek dziecka – jako zmienną towarzyszącą. Kobiety bardziej uwypuklały intonację i modulowały ton głosu adekwatnie do wieku dziecka. Ton głosu był podniesiony dużo bardziej w grupie kobiet mówiących w języku amerykańskim. Szybkość mówienia była istotnie niższa w języku flamandzkim, holenderskim. Hipoteza zakłada, że ton głosu jest używany jako parajęzykowa cecha adresowana do młodszych niemowląt, a niższe tempo mówienia – do starszych dzieci, które zaczynają rozumieć komunikaty werbalne.

Uwarunkowania wypowiedzi emocjonalnych osób w normie biologicznej i osób z zaburzeniami mowy

Małgorzata Waryszak

Published: 01-01-2014 | Abstract

Conditioning emotional statements at people with biological norm and persons with speech disorders This article is about the mechanisms of learning and using a suprasegmental structure of language in social interactions, in order to provide information about emotions. The issue is discussed in the context of the biological and social standards. It is also related to the possibility of using emotional prosody by persons with different speech disorders: caused by perceptual efficiency deficits (for example in hearing loss) and executive efficiency deficits (in dysarthria in cerebral palsy).
