Apraxia of speech in patients with Broca's aphasia: A study of phoneme production accuracy and error patterns. Trost, J. E. and Canter, G. J Brain and Language, 1(1):63-79. doi abstract bibtex Phonetic analyses were made of the articulatory errors of ten Broca's aphasics with apraxia of speech. Presentation mode, phoneme position, and phoneme frequency-of-occurrence were related to phoneme difficulty. Consonant clusters were more difficult than consonant singletons; vowels were easiest. Substitution, addition, and compound errors predominated, while distortions and omissions were much less frequent. A subphonemic feature analysis of substitution and distortion errors showed a majority of errors to be close approximations to target phonemes.
