Articulation of speech sounds of Serbian language in children aged six to eight

Abstract

The most common disorder of articulation is distortion, while only substitution and substitution associated with distortion are less common. Omission does not occur in children from 6 to 8 years of age. Girls have slightly better quality of articulation. The articulatory disorders are more common in preschool children than in children who are in the first grade of primary school. The most commonly mispronounced sounds belong to the group of affricates and fricatives.

Correlation of neuropsychological indicators of child development with speech: Empirical research underpinning the National Children’s Health Prevention Programme

“…In this way a larger number of participants within the experimental group are boys (76.7%), while a larger number of girls are within the control group (56.7%) (Figure1.) The result shows that articulation speech disorders are more common in boys than in girls, as shown by other studies (10,11,12). The average age of sample participants in the E group was M=6.07+-0.5 years, and in the C group M=6.34+-0.46.…”

“…The E group records 16.7% ambidextrous children, showing that this group has considerably more children without differentiated lateralisation, which indicates slow maturation of the structures and functions that determine movement lateralisation. While around 40% of children aged between 4 and 5 are weakly lateralised, this percentage drops to about 30% among those aged between 5 and 7 (11). The hand grip development level is another item recording a statistically significant difference between the E and the C group.…”

Exploratory Study on the Prevalence of Speech Sound Disorders in a Group of Valencian School Students Belonging to 3rd Grade of Infant School and 1st Grade of Primary School

“…In other languages, such as Serbian, they observed that the phonemes with the greatest difficulty were affricates and fricatives, and the most common articulation disorder was distortion. (Mihajlovi et al, 2015).…”

Phoneme articulation in students with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability

“…Prethodna istraživanja u grupi ispitanika tipične populacije predškolskog i mlađeg školskog uzrasta takođe ukazuju da je najčešće izmenjen izgovor glasova iz grupa afrikata i frikativa (Mihajlović et al, 2015). Kod ispitanika s CP i LIO nisu pronađena istraživanja kvaliteta grupe glasova koja bi poslužila za komparaciju sa rezultatima ispitivanog uzorka istog kalendarskog uzrasta i na istom govornom području.…”

“…Naš ispitivani uzorak formiran je od učenika koji su u mlađem školskom dobu, a za taj period se navodi mirniji i ne tako buran razvoj artikulacionih sposobnosti, jer se nakon osme godine artikulacione navike ustaljuju i sve teže nadograđuju i upotpunjuju (Bernthal et al, 2016; Mihajlović et al, 2015). Najmerodavnijim za komparaciju s našim smatramo istraživanje o kvalitetu glasovnog fonda sprovedeno u uzorku dece koja govore srpski jezik.…”
