The jargon utterances of two groups of two subjects each, group A, children with normal speech and language development, and group B, children with delayed or impaired speech and language development, were recorded and transcribed. The data were divided into meaningful and non-meaningful categories. The former were analysed into morphemes in terms of distinctive features and phonemes. All subjects were, found to have essentially similar distinctive features, phonemes and morpheme structures with minor exceptions. Intonation varied: group A used more sentence intonation, whereas group Β used more word intonation. Word approximations, standard and self-language words were found in all subjects. It was concluded that jargon appears to be a fusion of early phonological development and phonetic attempts, and that no significant difference exists between the two groups.

Most reports on pitch in esophageal speech emphasize that it is low-pitched with a measured fundamental frequency rarely higher than 100 cps. Our investigations show, however, that much esophageal 'phonation' lacks periodicity and, therefore, a fundamental frequency (i.e. pitch in the accepted sense). An auditory impression of pitch modulation can, nevertheless, be created by physical properties other than a varying harmonic structure. Our sample includes a rare case of truly high-pitched esophageal phonation with a fundamental frequency in the upper limit of the voice an octave higher than the highest reported in the literature. High-pitched phonation apparently requires a vibratory source in a 'mode' different from that of low-pitched phonation and should therefore be distinguished from it in discussing pitch in esophageal voice.

The vital role of the speech therapist, in the multi-disciplinary approach to the rehabilitation of patients subjected to ablative surgery for malignant disease of the head and neck region, is reviewed. The role of the surgical techniques of speech rehabilitation of the laryngectomised patient, who has failed to respond to the therapist's instruction in oesophageal speech rehabilitation, is high-lighted. The deliberate pharyngeal fistula created from the pharynx to the skin surface, is connected by a "speech device" to the tracheostomy stoma. The diversion of expired pulmonary air into the pharynx allows for immediate articulation.

For the purpose of assessing a semantic feature theory of semantic acquisition in language impaired and normal pre-schoolers, semantic feature manipulation tests were administered to two language-impaired and two matched normal speaking four-year olds. Results support Clark's hypothesis that lexical acquisition proceeds from over-extended quasi-superordinate terms with few semantic features to more differentiated subordinate terms with a greater number of features. Language impaired and normal children did not seem to be differentiated on these results.

Meniere's disease is discussed in terms of diagnostic difficulties, histological findings and treatments pointing to the use of impedance techniques with this condition. Ten subjects were given a questionnaire, regarding the symptoms experienced at the time of testing and impedance measures were conducted. Acoustic impedance values were higher in 80% of the affected ears when compared to the unaffected ears. Four of these values were more than double those in the unaffected ears and three were above normal limits. Therefore, increased endolymphatic pressure appears to be reflected in the test results. It is felt that impedance techniques should be.included in the test battery for the diagnosis of Meniere's disease.

Comprehension of What , Where and When Wh questions was evaluated in a four-and-one-half year old echolalic boy who displayed in therapy and at home equivocal response to various question forms. Deficits of comprehension were traced to an inadequately developed deep structure (particularly adverbials) rather than to limited knowledge of Wh transformations. Delayed development of semantic rules, as in the case of time distinctions, may block acquisition of those syntactic rules dependent upon them.
