Judgments of vocal affect by language-delayed children.

Judgment of vocal affect was studied in 19 language-delayed children and 19 children with normal language. The children responded to utterances spoken in an angry, happy, or sad tone of voice by pointing to a picture of an angry, a happy, or a sad face. The language-delayed children made significantly fewer correct judgments. The normal children judged all three emotions quite accurately, whereas the language-delayed children were very poor in judging sadness and showed a bias for judging all three emotional tones as anger. The language-delayed children tended to improve with age, but age trends in normal children were obscured by near-perfect performance of many children. The practical and theoretical importance of further research was discussed.

A binary articulatory production classification of English consonants with derived difference measures.

English consonants were classified according to six binary articulatory variables. Differences between the members of each possible consonant pair were quantified and the overall difference between each consonant and all other consonants was calculated. The consonant difference measures were found to be significantly related to children's substitution errors and to account for 56% of the variance in Templin's (1957) data on normal consonant acquisition. Similar measures calculated from the distinctive feature classifications of Chomsky and Halle (1968) and Singh and Singh (1976) accounted for less than one third of this amount. These findings suggest the potential utility of the present classification for the analysis of articulated speech.
