会话语音是评估语音可理解性的最有效的社会背景，但它并没有被常规检查。这可能是因为很难可靠地计算样本中不可理解部分的单词数量。在这项研究中，研究了处理这一问题的四种不同方法。每一种方法都基于这样的假设：即使目标单词是未知的，也有可能感知到难以理解的字符串中的音节；然后可以使用至少四种不同的方法来估计这些样本中无法理解的音节的数量。本文给出了基于会话语音的四种方法的初步数据，这些会话语音来自两个方便样本，其中包括320名正常（或标准化）语音儿童和202名语言延迟儿童。讨论了四种方法之间的差异。
Conversational speech is the most socially-valid context for evaluating speech intelligibility, but it is not routinely examined. This may be because it is difficult to reliably count the number of words in the unintelligible portions of the sample. In this study four different approaches to dealing with this problem are examined. Each is based on the assumption that it is possible to perceive syllables in unintelligible strings even when the target words are unknown; these unintelligible syllables can then be used to estimate the number of unintelligible words in these samples using at least four different approaches. Preliminary data are presented for each of the four approaches based on conversational speech from two convenience samples including 320 children with normal ( or normalized) speech and 202 children with speech delay. Differences among the four approaches are discussed.
