Speech of young adult deaf males and normal-hearing males was judged for speech rhythm proficiency and subjected to acoustical analyses. Deaf subjects, as compared to normals, exhibited less variation of fundamental frequency and intensity, greater total duration and average syllable duration, but the same relative variation of syllable duration. Speech rhythm proficiency was unrelated to fundamental frequency variation, somewhat related to intensity variation, and highly related to absolute duration measures. |
