Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech production during conversation [PDF]
Speech Communication, 2018 This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent, dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying complexities. Our aim is to quantify speech modifications during conversation, which characterize effortful speech, as a function of the difficulty of the acoustic ...

Measuring Encoding Efficiency in Swedish and English Language Learner Speech Production [PDF]
Interspeech 2017, 2017 We use n-gram language models to investigate how far language approximates an optimal code for human communication in terms of Information Theory, and what differences there are between Learner proficiency levels. Although the language of lower level learners is simpler, it is less optimal in terms of information theory, and as a consequence more ...

Designs and decisions: The creation of informal measures for assessing speech production in children
International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2013 Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) frequently assess children's speech to diagnose and identify areas of difficulty, then determine appropriate intervention goals. Formal measures are available for assessment; however, many SLPs use informal measures within clinical practice.

On the measures of fluency in the assessment of spontaneous speech production by aphasic subjects
Aphasiology, 1991 Traditionally, 'fluency' is used first to refer to an aphasic syndrome and second to describe only a symptom, a defining speech output feature. Both of these uses may be questioned. Different dimensions of fluency, for instance articulatory agility and use of grammatical words, may be found independent; thus fluency does not identify with a consistent ...
