Beyond Prevalence: Understanding the Relationship Between Early Anatomic Factors and the Likelihood for Cleft Speech Characteristics. [PDF]
Int J Lang Commun DisordABSTRACT Purpose This study investigates early anatomic determinants influencing the likelihood of cleft speech characteristics (CSCs) in children with cleft palate with or without lip involvement (CP+/−L). The primary objective was to identify critical anatomic factors within the first year of life that impact the presence of CSCs at Age 3.

Articulatory-kinematic changes in speech following surgical treatment for oral or oropharyngeal cancer: A systematic review. [PDF]
Int J Lang Commun DisordAbstract Background Treatment for oral or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (O&OSCC) often leads to problems with speech articulation. Articulatory–kinematic data may be especially informative in designing new therapeutic approaches for individuals treated for these tumours.

Essential palatal tremor has no currently demonstrable cause and no accompanying physical or radiological signs. But it is probable that an organic genesis will become apparent.

Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2013 Our understanding of cleft palates has come a long way over the last few decades. A better understanding of the long-term consequences of a cleft palate and its effect on speech development challenges surgeons to not only effectively repair the cleft, but to also restore function of the palate for adequate speech.

Naturalness bias in palatalization: An experimental study
Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2016 In the present study, we report on an artificial language learning experiment aiming to test the idea that it is easier to learn palatalization before a front vowel than it is to learn depalatalization in the same context.
