“…saying pataka rapidly and repeatedly), which are indeed explicitly designated nonspeech tasks by TDM proponents (Bunton, 2008; Ziegler, 2002). However, the requirement for communicative intent also excludes behaviours that might be considered speech, such as talking in one’s sleep (Kent, 2015), or speech-like, such as infant babble (Moore & Ruark, 1996). 3 To complicate matters further, oral movements that produce acoustic signals with a communicative purpose, such as the click sound tsk-tsk to convey disapproval or sighing loudly to communicate exasperation, are not considered speech (Aichert & Ziegler, 2013).…”

Speech and nonspeech: What are we talking about?

Understanding of the behavioural, cognitive, and neural underpinnings of speech production is of interest theoretically, and is important for understanding disorders of speech production and how to assess and treat such disorders in the clinic. This paper addresses two claims about the neuromotor control of speech production: (1) speech is subserved by a distinct, specialised motor control system, (2) speech is holistic and cannot be decomposed into smaller primitives. Both claims have gained traction in recent literature, and are central to a task-dependent model of speech motor control (Ziegler, 2003a). The purpose of this paper is to stimulate thinking about speech production, its disorders, and the clinical implications of these claims. The paper poses several conceptual and empirical challenges for these claims – including the critical importance of defining speech. The emerging conclusion is that a task-dependent model is called into question as its two central claims are founded on ill-defined and inconsistently applied concepts. The paper concludes with discussion of methodological and clinical implications, including the potential utility of diadochokinetic (DDK) tasks in assessment of motor speech disorders and the contraindication of nonspeech oral motor exercises to improve speech function.

Praxia não verbal na fonoaudiologia: revisão de literatura

Speech is defined as a motor representation of language, where there is a coordination of three neurological processes: organization of concepts, formulation and symbolic expression; motor act of programming involved in speech production and own motor speech production. The Motor Speech Control, that orders the muscle contraction for the execution of Speech, includes planning, preparing movements and the implementation of plans to result in muscle contractions and dislocations of structures that will culminate in the articulation of Speech. National and international scientific papers envision a new speech playing field for working with a Speech changed with the stimulation of non-verbal Praxis. The aim of this study was to review the national and international literature which the treatment given to Oral Praxis and non verbal and scores the clinical applications in the Speech therapy. We conducted a search in the databases PubMed, Lilacs and Scielo. The 40 selected citations were assessed critically as the objectives, results and conclusions. The articles showed that non-verbal praxis can be stimulated for clinical work with speech, but nevertheless, there is not a description of this speech therapy. Any article referred that the non--verbal Praxis should be worked, not even how to stimulate motor programming for Speech. This study suggests the clinical necessity to create speech therapy tools that include stimulation of non-verbal Praxis to work with the articulation of Speech. Keywords: Speech; Articulation Disorder; Motor Skill; Stomatognathic System; Muscles RESUMO A Fala é definida como representação motora da Linguagem, em que há a coordenação de três processos neurológicos: organização de conceitos, formulação e expressão simbólica; programação do ato motor envolvido na produção da fala; e sua própria produção motora. O Controle Motor da Fala, que ordena a contração muscular para a sua execução, inclui o planejamento, a preparação de movimentos e a execução de planos para resultar em contrações musculares e deslocamentos de estruturas que culminarão na articulação da Fala. Os estudos científicos nacionais e internacionais vislumbram um novo campo de atuação fonoaudiológica para o trabalho com a fala alterada, com a estimulação da Praxias Não Verbais. O objetivo deste trabalho é revisar, na bibliografia, o tratamento dado às praxias orais e não verbais e pontuar suas aplicações clínicas no âmbito fonoaudiológico. Realizou-se uma busca nas bases de dados PubMed, Lilacs e Scielo. As 40 citações selecionadas foram avaliadas de forma crítica. Os artigos mostraram que a Praxia Não Verbal pode ser estimulada para o trabalho clínico com a Fala, no entanto, não há descrição do trabalho fonoaudiológico, tampouco um detalhamento dos exercícios em sequência que poderiam ser utilizados. Nenhum artigo apontou para o modo como as Praxias Não Verbais deveriam ser trabalhadas, nem mesmo como estimular a programação motora para a Fala. Este estudo propõe a necessidade clínica de criar instrumentos de intervenção f...
