TI  - Four new speech and prosody-voice measures for genetics research and other 
      studies in developmental phonological disorders.
PG  - 105-40
AB  - Research in developmental phonological disorders, particularly emerging subgroup 
      studies using behavioral and molecular genetics, requires qualitative and 
      continuous measurement systems that meet a variety of substantive and 
      psychometric assumptions. This paper reviews relevant issues underlying such 
      needs and presents four measurement proposals developed expressly for 
      causal-correlates research. The primary qualitative system is the Speech 
      Disorders Classification System (SDCS), a 10-category nosology for dichotomous 
      and hierarchical polychotomous classification of speech disorders from 2 years of 
      age through adulthood. The three quantitative measures for segmental and 
      suprasegmental analyses are (a) the Articulation Competence Index (ACI), an 
      interval-level severity index that adjusts a subject's Percentage of Consonants 
      Correct (PCC) score for the relative percentage of distortion errors; (b) Speech 
      Profiles, a series of graphic-numeric displays that profile a subject's or 
      group's severity-adjusted consonant and vowel-diphthong mastery and error 
      patterns; and (c) the Prosody-Voice Profile, a graphic-numeric display that 
      profiles a subject's or group's status on six suprasegmental domains divided into 
      31 types of inappropriate prosody-voice codes. All data for the four measures are 
      derived from one sample of conversational speech, which obviates the limitations 
      of citation-form testing; enables speech assessment as a qualitative, 
      semi-continuous, and continuous trait over the life span; and provides a context 
      for univariate and multivariate statistical analyses of phonetic, phonologic, 
      prosodic, and language variables in multiage, multidialectal, and multicultural 
      populations. Rationale, procedures, validity data, and examples of uses for each 
      measure are presented.
