Item PATSy: a multimedia distributed web-base resource for aphasiologists in research and education.(Psychology Press, 1999) Lum, C.; Cox, R.; Kilgour, J.; Morris, J.; Tobin, R.This paper describes PATSy, a distributed, multimedia system designed to be a repository of patient cases and their test data. PATSy will initially consist of adult aphasia cases, though it can eventually accommodate test data from a variety of neurological and non-neurological adult and child cases. The genetic aspects of PATSy also allow it to accept test data from various disciplines. Authorized users will have passwords to allow them to access PATSy via the internet. The development of PATSy addresses several challenges in research and education. These include archiving data from rare and unusual cases, limiting loss of data, improving opportunities for data re-utilization by other researchers, and forging more direct and transparent links between research and education. Users will have access to raw test data of patients reported by researchers. Above all, the structure and design of PATSy is highly suited to case-based learning, though other methods of teaching are also accommodated.Item InterPHACE - internetworked links for phonetic analysis in clinical education.(1999-04) Beck, Janet M.; Alistair, Lawson; Mennen, InekeThis collaborative project addresses two key issues. The first is the need for Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) students to develop skills in analysis of a wide range of speech disorders and to apply these to clinical practice. The second is the lack of opportunities for utilising instrumental speech analysis techniques in many SALT clinics. Computerised links between Queen Margaret College and a variety of Health Care Trust clinics have been established which allow SALT clinic sessions to be monitored and speech data collection controlled remotely from QMC. Speech data is transmitted to the QMC Speech Laboratory for analysis and compilation of results. QMC staff and students are then able to discuss the results by teleconference with the SALT responsible for each client_s management, thus learning about the impact of analysis results on diagnosis and management. A data-base of clinical speech material is also being developed as a teaching/learning resource. A novel form of curricular design and delivery is thus being developed, which allows college staff and students access to speech from disordered clients in SALT clinics, and allows students to be actively involved in the process of clinical speech analysis of a range of current cases. Evaluation of the educational value of this project is ongoing, but it should enhance both undergraduate education in clinical phonetics and continuing professional development.Item Standard English in Edinburgh and Glasgow: the Scottish vowel length rule revealed.(Arnold, 1999) Scobbie, James M.; Hewlett, Nigel; Turk, Alice E.Item Covert contrast as a stage in the acquisition of phonetics and phonology : working paper(QMU Speech Science Research Centre, 1996) Scobbie, James M.; Gibbon, Fiona; Hardcastle, William J.; Fletcher, PaulPaper adds to the growing body of evidence that children can acquire phonological systems before they are able to master the phonetic skills needed to convey the contrasts in that systemItem Declarative Phonology(Université Laval, Québec, 1992) Bird, Steven; Coleman, John S.; Pierrehumbert, Janet; Scobbie, James M.Item Perceptual Strategies in Phonological Disorder: Assessment, Remediation and Evaluation(1998) Watson, Jocelynne; Hewlett, NigelEvidence is presented that immature perceptual strategies are a contributory factor to developmental phonological disorder. The findings endorse the current re-focusing of attention on the role of perception in disordered speech and language acquisition and also highlight the need for more precise assessment and remediation techniques. Technical developments working towards providing these are reviewed and implications for future clinical practice discussed.Item Key aspects of declarative phonology(European Studies Research Institute, University of Salford., 1996) Scobbie, James M.; Coleman, John S.; Bird, Steven; Durand, Jacques; Laks, BernardConstraints are a major component in many phonological theories, past and present. They are exploited to their full in Declarative Phonology. It is worthwhile to briefly state some general considerations about the circumstances which have led to their ubiquitous use.Item Articulatory, acoustic and perceptual aspects of fricative/stop coarticulation(1998) Nguyen, Noel; Wrench, Alan A.; Gibbon, Fiona; Hardcastle, William J.Item Acoustic analysis of /l/ in glossectomees(1998) Lunn, J.; Wrench, Alan A.; Beck, Janet M.The production of /l/ is examined for pre- and post-operative patients who have undergone surgery in three distinct areas (anterior, posterior or lateral tongue) followed by radiotherapy and reconstruction. Results show F1 and F2 to be raised after surgery in all cases. Normalised measures of tongue height (F1-F0) and extension (F2-F1) revealed no significant change after surgery to the side of the tongue but in the other two categories, results indicated a change normally associated with both raising and fronting of the tongue. The paper compares these results with findings from other studies and considers possible mechanisms for the observed changes. 1. INTRODUCTION Previous work [1] by the authors has focused on the production of /s/ and /sh/ in pre- and postoperative glossectomee speech. Although, these phonemes can be objectively shown to be affected by surgery, change in dentition also plays a critical role and in a large number of cases speech therapy must wait until new dentu...Item Interactions between the acquisition of phonetics and phonology(Chicago Linguistics Society, 1998) Scobbie, James M.
