Abstract
[Introduction]
This paper presents an overview of recent research findings regarding the physiology of deaf speech. Consideration will be given to speech breathing and aerodynamics, laryngeal functioning, and articulatory dynamics. Each topic is introduced with a brief discussion regarding normal physiological speech processes and research techniques. Each topic’s introduction is followed by a detailed discussion of recent research findings regarding the physiologic speech processes of deaf persons. Attempts will be made to illustrate how aberrant processes contribute to the speech errors of the deaf.
