Complexity of articulation planning in apraxia of speech: The limits of phoneme-based approaches
1a EKN-Clinical Neuropsychology Research Group, Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing , Ludwig-Maximilians-University , Munich , Germany.
Abstract:
This report presents evidence suggesting that the phoneme-based approach taken by Romani, Galuzzi, Guariglia, and Goslin (Comparing phoneme frequency, age of acquisition, and loss in aphasia: Implications for phonological universals. Cognitive Neuropsychology, this issue) falls short of capturing the complexity of articulation planning in patients with apraxia of speech. Empirical and modelling data are reported to demonstrate that the apraxic pathomechanism resides in the hierarchical architecture of phonological words rather than in the context-independent properties of phonemes. Because the factors determining complexity of articulation planning are interlaced between gestural, syllabic, and metrical levels, they cannot be captured by markedness rankings limited to any of these levels.
