This study assessed the realization of junctural contrasts by normal and esophageal speakers. Ten normal subjects and ten laryngectomized subjects using esophageal speech provided high quality tape recordings of three productions of five ambiguous two-word phrases. These recordings were presented to forty listeners for evaluation using a Two Interval Forced Choice procedure. Both normal and esophageal speakers realized junctural contrasts in ambiguous phrases in a highly effective manner. Significant differences in listeners' overall perception of juncture locus were found for talker group and individual speaker main effects. The findings of this project were interpreted to highlight the contribution that study of clinical samples may make to questions in linguistic therapy, speech production, and speech perception. Finally, the direct clinical relevance of the procedures and results are discussed.
本研究评估了正常发声者和食管发声者对连接性对比的实现情况。十名正常受试者和十名使用食管言语的喉切除受试者提供了五个歧义双词短语三次发音的高质量录音。这些录音被呈现给四十名听众，使用二间隔强制选择程序进行评估。正常发声者和食管发声者都以非常有效的方式在歧义短语中实现了连接性对比。对于说话者组和个体说话者的主效应，听众对连接位置的总体感知存在显著差异。该项目的研究结果被解释为突出了临床样本研究对语言治疗、言语产生和言语感知问题可能做出的贡献。最后，讨论了这些程序和结果的直接临床相关性。
