This work is based on a partial data from the first author's master thesis. Objectives: Conversational skills play an important role in social aspects such as the peer relationships and academic achievement of school-aged children. The purpose of this study was to investigate developmental differences according to grade for primary school students in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. Methods: The participants were a total of 30 children, 10 children per grade. Conversation samples were collected individually by the examiner according to procedure of Hallym Conversation & Pragmatic Assessment Protocol. In terms of engagement indicator, the frequency of turn-taking, frequency of utterances per turn. Additionally, in terms of topic indicator, the total number of topics, frequency of turn per topic, rates of maintenance and rates of change were measured. Results: The results were as follows: in engagement indicator, significant difference was observed in the frequency of utterances per turn. In topic indicator, there were significant differences in the total number of topics, frequency of turn per topic, rates of maintenance, and rates of change. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that as school-aged children's grade increased they were able to converse over a given topic with more consistency. These results help elucidate the development of conversation in elementary school-children and can be used as materials for the assessment and intervention of children with disabilities.

“…RHD 환자는 정상인보다 대화 상대자에 대한 반응이 더 늦 고, 주제에 벗어나는 발화를 산출하거나 말을 지나치게 많이 하며 (Prutting & Kirchner, 1987) 대화 주고받기의 빈도는 더 많으나, 대 화차례당 발화수는 적었다 (Kennedy et al, 1994). 그러나 국내의 경우에는 앞서 언급한 설명이나 이야기 담화 특성과 간접 화행 능 력을 살펴본 연구 (Jang & Choi, 2010) (Choi & Lee, 2013;Prutting & Kittchner, 1987)는 화자와 청자가 번갈아 가며 말하는 것 (Kim & Lee, 2007)으로 대화자는 너무 길지 않은 차례를 가져야 하고, 대화 상대자는 차례에 끼어드는 등의 방해가 적어야 한다 (Owens, 2004). 다음으로 맥락에 따라 주제를 적절하게 다루는 '주 제 운용능력(topic manipulation skills)' (Craig & Evans, 1989;Mentis, 1994)이 요구된다.…”

The right hemisphere has been established to be responsible for the pragmatic aspects of language, and for controlling the use and application of language. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of conversation and topic manipulation in patients with right hemisphere damage (RHD). Methods: This study involved 24 subjects: 12 with right hemisphere cerebral infarction and 12 normal adults matched for sex, age, and education level. The data were collected using a structured protocol, and the collected data were analyzed by conversational participation indexes (number of turn-taking and frequency of utterances per turn), topic manipulation indexes (total number of total topics, frequency of turns per topic, and rate of topic initiation, rate of topic maintenance, and rate of topic switching), and conversational breakdown indexes (rate of overlap and rate of turn interruption). Results: There was no significant difference in the conversational participation indexes between the two groups. In terms of the topic manipulation indexes, the RHD group showed lower topic manipulation ability than did the normal adult group. There was no significant difference in the conversational breakdown indexes between the two groups. Conclusion: This study is significant as it identified the characteristics of conversation and topic manipulation ability in patients with RHD who had difficulty in pragmatic language, and provided baseline evidence for the assessment of and intervention for patients with RHD.

“…For this study, the following dependent measures were used to calculate the evaluation index as used in speech pathology. These indices, extracted from [23][24][25][26] Type − Token Ratio (TTR) = The total number of words in utterances The total number of different words in utterances (6) In language pathology, the more we talk, the higher the language ability. In addition, the more vocabulary that constitutes one sentence, the higher the language ability.…”

Speaking is a way for humans to communicate with others using language. The ability to speak according to the speaker is very diverse. In general, language skills improve as intelligence improves. Therefore, it is known that the analysis of a speaker’s utterances is a good tool to evaluate the intellectual maturity of the speaker. Until recently, these evaluations have been done manually based on the experience of a handful of experts, but this approach is not only time consuming and costly, but also highly subjective. In this paper, we propose a Korean automatic speech analysis system based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and web service to solve this problem. For this study, we constructed a web service based on Django to respond to the requests of various users. When a user delivered a transcription file of utterances to the server via the web, the server analyzed the speech ability of the speaker based on various indicators. The server compared the transcription file with the language ability indicators of persons of the same age as the speaker and displayed the result immediately to the user. In this study, we used KoNLPy, a Korean language-processing tool. The automatic speech analysis service analyzed not only the overall language ability of the speaker but also individual domains such as sentence completion ability and vocabulary ability. In addition, a faster and immediate service was made possible without sacrificing accuracy as compared to human analysis.
