The phonetic approach of clinical data [In Portuguese]

This study aims at presenting a review, from the methodological point of view, of procedures and demands related to the phonetic approach of clinical data. The possibility of taking into account the interface between speech perception and production may be productive when analyzing data collected from clinical settings or developing research in which the central questions arose from the clinical practice. The dynamic aspects of speech are considered. The series of studies reported reinforces the indication of a highly integrated and cooperative approach among the several research areas concerned on speech production and perception. The capability of producing speech under disorders caused by damages in phonatory and auditory systems can stimulate researchers to develop approaches that could influence theoretical models, rehabilitation tools and speech technologies development.
