Effects of alcohol on the speech of alcoholics.
Abstract
Speech disfluency resulting from alcohol intoxication was investigated in an experiment using established measures of nonfluency. Male alcoholic subjects (N = 16) read a standardized passage into an audio recorder, once while sober and at two different degrees of intoxication. For each reading, the frequency of occurrence of 13 different operationally defined speech errors was scored. Subjects, when intoxicated, took a longer time to read the standardized passage; had increased interjections of words, phrases, and sounds; increased word omissions; increased word revisions; and increased broken suffixes at higher levels of intoxication (10 oz). Possible uses for a profile of disfluent speech of alcoholics are considered and suggestions for further investigations are discussed.

Alcohol induces slurred speech, i.e., slowed down, dysfluent speech with more interjections, omissions, errors, perturbated suffixes, and poorer articulation.
“Alcohol has been documented to induce slurred speech, i.e., slowed down, dysfluent speech with more interjections, omissions, errors, perturbated suffixes, poorer articulation (e.g., Trojan and Kryspin-Exner, 1968; Sobell and Sobell, 1972; Sobell et al., 1982).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
