Interpersonal communication is a
highly dynamic process during which interlocutors continuously share inf
ormation with one another in both linguistic and non-linguistic forms. T
his information sharing supports a collaborative process of determining
shared meaning and has been successfully utilized in clinical interventi
ons for people with language disorders. However, such an approach is not
currently taken to support individuals with speech disorders such as dy
sarthria. In this talk, Annie Olmstead will describe the results of an i
nitial investigation into the phonetic changes wrought by communicative
interaction between people with dysarthria secondary to ALS and healthy
interlocutors. Participants performed a word matching task in pairs. Pro
ductions from these interactions were compared to habitual and clear spe
ech productions by the same individuals. We observed differences between
the tasks in both acoustic properties and intelligibility of produced s
peech.
