Visualization of Laryngeal Events during Stuttered, Fluent Speech and Speech Modeling Tasks: The Utility of Multimedia Recordings

Marie-Claude Monfrais-Pfauwadel

The author presents via a multimedia analysis (nasovideo, fibroscopic, endoscopies, acoustic recordings, spectrographic analysis etc…) recordings made along the two past years on severe stutterers and the same subjects using speech modifications techniques as well as normally fluent speakers. Each patient had been recorded (synchronized numeric video and acoustic recordings) for at least two to four minutes. The data will be described and compared. Further comments will be made about implications and new perspectives for diagnosis, the role of the larynx during stuttering, and the effectiveness of speech modification techniques.
