Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to analyse the speech rate, pausing and fluency of a patient with young-onset Parkinson’s Disease in different stages of the disease. Speech samples of the patient were recorded in the early stages of the disease until after the brain surgery. The recordings were compared to the speech of healthy control speakers. Speech rate, articulation rate, pausing and the frequency of disfluencies were analysed. Results show that all parameters are influenced by the severity of the disease, but articulation rate is the most affected.
