It is noted that much previous work in phonology has attempted to provide economical theories of sound systems without explicitly attempting to provide theories that have psycholinguistic validity. The work of Bybee on a cognitive approach to phonology is described, and its possible application to disordered speech is considered. It is discussed that cognitive phonology, coupled with gestural phonology, provides descriptive as well as explanatory accounts of disordered speech, and has specific implications for approaches to therapy. The article concludes with a case study of child with severely unintelligible speech, where it seems that the insights of cognitive phonology provide both an explanation for and a description of her speech behaviors.
需要注意的是，以往许多音韵学方面的研究都试图提出关于语音系统的经济理论，却没有明确尝试提出具有心理语言学效度的理论。本文描述了拜贝关于音韵学认知方法的研究，并探讨了其在言语障碍方面的可能应用。讨论了认知音韵学与手势音韵学相结合，为言语障碍提供了描述性和解释性的说明，并对治疗方法有特定的启示。文章最后以一个言语严重难以理解的儿童为例进行了案例研究，在这个案例中，认知音韵学的见解似乎为她的言语行为提供了一种解释和描述。
