About this title

Synopsis

This work presents a collection of reports from research projects investigating the characteristics of the pronunciation patterns and speech development of cleft palate individuals. Five separate but interrelated investigations, conducted under the direction of Professor Pamela Grunwell, form the central focus of the volume. Cleft palate speech across a range of populations is described in explicit phonetic and phonological frameworks. The characteristic pronunciation patterns of cleft palate speakers are established in relation to the relevant clinical variables of surgical management procedures, age type of cleft, speech therapy, management and so on. An international dimension is introduced by a chapter on the findings of the Sri Lankan Cleft Palate Project and another on the European Cross-Linguistic Cleft Palate Project. The publication of this book represents a step forward in advancing knowledge and understanding of cleft palate speech and the clinical management of cleft palate individuals.
