Neurolinguistic and acoustic analysis of articulatory impairments in Arabic speech disorders
Open accessAbstract
Background: Pharyngeal sounds, integral to Arabic phonetics, require precise vocal tract coordination, posing significant challenges for individuals with speech disorders. Objective: This study investigates the neurolinguistic and acoustic characteristics of pharyngeal sound production in Arabic speakers with speech impairments, aiming to elucidate the impact of neurological disruptions on articulatory precision. Methods: A comparative study was conducted with 20 participants (10 with speech disorders, 10 with typical speech). Acoustic analysis, including spectrographic evaluation, was used to quantify deviations in pharyngeal sound production. Concurrently, neurolinguistic assessments, which included neurological evaluations, identified disruptions in neural pathways governing speech motor control. Results: Individuals with speech disorders exhibited significant neuromotor deficits, correlating with distinct acoustic deviations in pharyngeal sound production. These findings highlight the synergy of neurolinguistic and acoustic approaches in identifying underlying mechanisms of speech impairment. Conclusion: By integrating neurolinguistic and acoustic analyses, this study establishes a novel framework for diagnosing and treating pharyngeal sound disorders in Arabic speakers. The results inform targeted therapeutic interventions and the development of assistive technologies, advancing clinical outcomes in speech-language pathology.

In the citing paper
“The limitation of existing acoustic-based approaches such as NAA and TMTLN for simultaneously characterizing the issues related to articulation, cognition, and behavior associated with speech disorders is because of their focus on low-level speech abnormalities while failing to consider neurolinguistic inconsistency related to semantics.”

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.
