Prototype Prosody in Speech Disorder Children

Muhammad Subali, Muh. Kholiq and Tri Wahyu Retno Ningsih

Abstract

In the science of language, the smallest units of sound that can be distinguished by humans are called phonemes. In principle, a greeting word or phrase can be seen as a sequence of phonemes. The set of phonemes that exists in a language is different from another language. Each phoneme is symbolized by a unique symbol. Vocal speech signal has the form of quas-periodic and each vowel has certain frequency components that distinguish one vowel phoneme from another vowel phoneme. Data processing is done using Speech Filing System software for every word spoken in order to obtain prosodic patterns. The research object is prosodic structure and the cavity on phonological dysfunction. This research problem dealt with lingual unit and supra-segmental elements of any speech that marked phonological dysfunction. The stages of this study are: (1) the method of providing data, (2) data analysis methods, and (3) methods of presenting the results of data analysis. The results of data analysis showed that there are some lingual units marking the subject speech, namely, supra-segmental elements, are weak and there is a shift in the location of the sound production in the cavity.

Keywords: prototype, prosody, speech disorder, phonological dysfunction, Speech Filing System.

Introduction

Phonological disorder or phonological dysfunction refers to speech disorder models that can be measured by the development of the child's age and intelligence. Practically, the disorder can be called as a form of imprecision or delay aspects of speech in children. The form of the disorder that can be identified consisting of errors in sound production, substitution of one voice with another voice, and elimination of certain sounds such as final consonants. Certainly, the difficulty interferes with the academic skills and social communication for the child. Through the analysis of phonological prosody will be found speech flow arranged in a set of phonological units. It refers to the theoretical interaction between phonological component and the components of the grammar. Interaction in the form of mapping rules that build phonological structure is based on understanding morphology, syntax, and semantics. A set of phonological units is needed to characterize the application domain of the large number of phonological rules. In the case of severe phonological dysfunction, sounds such as b, m, t, d, n and h are often mistakenly pronounced. The main function of intonation is to organize oral discourse into units understood, with punctuation, capitalization and paragraphs are properly written.

This study is intended to identify the prosodic structure through speech signal characteristics and location of the cavity in patients with phonological dysfunction.
