Surface electromyography (sEMG) is criticised for potential intraand intersession variability. As a result, the validity of the technique as a clinical measurement tool in swallowing rehabilitation is debatable. However, variability in sEMG recordings has not been comprehensively examined.

Cantonese is a Chinese dialect spoken by over 50 million speakers in China and around the world. However, few Cantonese assessment tools for (central) auditory processing disorders are available. One common auditory processing assessment tool presented to English language listeners is time-compressed speech. The present study aimed at creating a prototype time-compressed speech test in Cantonese and developing initial normative data for this population. Fifty young Cantonese-speaking adults participated in the study. Three lists of bisyllabic Cantonese words with 0%, 45%, and 65% time compression rates were presented. Over 95% correct word recognition scores at all three compression rates were found. Word recognition scores were very similar for 0% and 45% compression lists but a relatively large standard deviation and slight mean drop in perfor-

This study used a qualitative research approach to gain insight into the phenomenon of living with hearing impairment from the perspective of couples living with hearing impairment. Twelve couples ranging in age from 44 to 70 years were interviewed. Four themes emerged from the interviews: communication, stigma, services for hearing impairment, and coping with hearing impairment. Members within couples disagreed about the importance and need for communication. All participants reported experiencing stigma attached to hearing impairment and/or ageing and expressed negative perceptions relating to hearing aids and hearing care professionals. Participants described ways in which they cope with hearing impairment in private and public. Clinical implications are discussed.

Purpose: Analysis of children's oral narratives is a frequently used naturalistic assessment technique. Comparing children's oral narrative performance to databases of samples elicited from typically developing speakers aids in the identification of language impairment and thus enhances the clinical utility of the assessment process. To investigate the potential usefulness of existing databases across different geographic locations, this study compared the story retelling performance of English-speaking children from New Zealand (NZ) to samples from the United States (US) contained in a widely used reference database available with Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts software (SALT). Method: Sixty-six NZ children (age 6;0 to 7;11) who showed typical development participated. Their performance was compared to 73 age-matched samples from the United States. All children retold the story Frog, Where Are You? using a standard protocol. Approximately half of the NZ children (n = 31) retold the story without picture support, whereas all other children were allowed to refer to the pictures during retelling. Language samples were analysed on measures of verbal productivity, semantic diversity, syntactic complexity, verbal fluency, and story quality. Results: The results indicated that variables measuring verbal productivity, semantic diversity, and story quality were sensitive to changes in elicitation procedures (presence or absence of pictures during retelling), but not to differences in geographic location (US vs. NZ). In contrast, verbal fluency was sensitive to both elicitation condition and geographic location. Implications: The results from this study suggest that, when comparing a story retelling sample to a reference database, adhering to the language sampling elicitation protocol may be more important than the geographic origin of the database.

The present study examined the acoustic features of cough across sex and age; and its relationship to the perception of voice production. A total of 30 cough samples and 30 voice samples were collected from 15 healthy females and 15 healthy males, ranging from 17 to 79 years. Coughs containing three distinct phases were submitted to an acoustic analysis of the long-term average spectrum (LTAS) and cough duration. Both cough and voice samples were examined perceptually by a group of 20 speech-lan-

This paper explored the influence of early and late academic exposure to an L2 (English) on the perception of L1 (Bengali) and L2 (English) accent. Based on the perception of real and novel words in L1 and L2 contexts, 12 monolingual Bengali listeners and 12 monolingual Standard American English listeners judged the “nativelike” accent of 20 Bengali-English bilingual speakers (10 speakers had early and 10 had late academic exposure to an L2). In each stimulus category (i.e., real and novel), 2 words had trochaic and 2 words had iambic stress pattern. Except in the L1 novel context, speakers with early L2 exposure received higher “nativelike” accent ratings in both L1 and in L2. The two groups of bilinguals were comparable in the L1 novel context. Real words with trochaic stress pattern were perceived as more “nativelike” in both L1 and L2 contexts. The results suggest that the age of academic exposure to an L2 differentially interacts with the perception of L1 and L2 accent, and with perception based on the novelty of the stimuli. Cross-linguistic transfer alone might not always explain bilinguals’ linguistic behaviors. Active interplay of multiple social, linguistic, and physiological factors needs to be considered.

Electromagnetic articulography (EMA) was used to examine lingual kinematics in a heterogeneous group of seven adults with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), including two with relapsing-remitting and five with primary progressive forms of MS, with the latter group including two participants with dysarthria. Tongue tip and tongue body movements were tracked as two sentences, one loaded with alveolar consonants and the other with velar consonants, were read aloud six times each. The results are reported as a series of descriptive case reports. Subclinical kinematic disturbances were identified in nondysarthric participants with MS. Specifically, the results revealed that two MS participants (one dysarthric, one nondysarthric) exhibited significantly increased sentence durations compared to the control group (n = 14). Two other MS participants (one dysarthric, one nondysarthric) exhibited significantly increased tongue movement speed and distances, the effects of which may have counteracted to result in comparable sentence durations to the control group. The remaining three non-dysarthric participants with MS exhibited comparable values
