TI  - Speech rate and rhythm in cerebellar dysarthria: an acoustic analysis of syllabic 
      timing.
PG  - 70-8
AB  - Auditory-perceptual studies reported inconsistent data with respect to syllabic 
      timing in cerebellar dysarthria, i.e. both reduced and increased variability of 
      syllable durations. The present study performed a comprehensive analysis of 
      syllabic timing during sentence utterances in 14 subjects with a pure cerebellar 
      syndrome (CA). First, the CA patients presented with reduced speech tempo in 
      terms of syllable and utterance durations. Second, a tendency for intrautterance 
      syllabic isochrony, being an aspect of the percept of 'scanning speech', 
      characterized a subgroup of patients with cerebellar dysarthria. Third, increased 
      interutterance durational variability was found in three out of the five 
      syllables considered. Thus, both reduced intrautterance and increased 
      interutterance variability of syllable durations may pertain to cerebellar 
      dysarthria. The latter dimension, however, seems to be more prominent.
