[Observations on the accent-method of Smith in the management of voice and speech disturbances. Part II (author's transl)].

Abstract

In an earlier paper [HNO 25, 102 (1977)], the accent-method for the treatment of voice disorders has been described in detail. The rhythmical pronunciation of stressed ("accentuated") syllables with a physiologically correct phonatory respiration and a loose articulation form the basis for this method, and allow treatment of voice disorders as well as problems related to abnormal speech behavior. Further discussion is based on present theories of the physics and the physiology of voice function as well as on concepts from modern psychology and pedagogics.
