Prosodic contours in the verbal output of 30 patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease were contrasted to those of fifteen age-, sex-, and educationally matched normal subjects. All subjects were tested for language disorder, dementia, depression, and the comprehension of linguistic prosody. The striking disorder of prosody in Parkinson's disease relates to motor control, not to a loss of the linguistic knowledge required to make prosodic distinctions. It appears that prosody, language and the motor planning of speech are integrated at a basal ganglia level.
将30例特发性帕金森病患者言语输出中的韵律轮廓与15名年龄、性别和教育程度相匹配的正常受试者的韵律轮廓进行了对比。所有受试者都接受了语言障碍、痴呆、抑郁以及语言韵律理解方面的测试。帕金森病中明显的韵律障碍与运动控制有关,而非进行韵律区分所需语言知识的丧失。似乎韵律、语言和言语运动规划在基底神经节水平上是整合在一起的。
