	Individual events - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Impromptu Speaking is a less common event somewhat similar to Extemp in the fact that it is prepared on the spot, but different in that the prep period is factored into the speaking time.
		A speech round consists of the performances of between five and eight competitors, who are then ranked by a judge who watches the entire round.
		A normal speech round has six competitors, and final rounds are "broken" with the goal of having six speakers in the round.

	Speech Delay - Keep Kids Healthy common problems
		A speech delay can be caused from problems with the output of speech (anatomical problems with the vocal cords, etc.), the input of speech (hearing loss), or the processing of speech (mental retardation and developmental language disorders).
		The two main types of speech delay are expressive delays, which is the inability to generate speech, or receptive delays, the inability to decode or understand the speech of others.
		Things that don't cause speech delays are a child being 'tongue-tied,' being 'lazy,' having a lot of siblings that 'talk for him,' or living in a bilingual family.

	Chapter 9. The Common Speech. 10. Vulgar Pronunciation. Mencken, H.L. 1921. The American Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Before anything approaching a thorough and profitable study of the sounds of the American common speech is possible, there must be a careful assembling of the materials, and this, unfortunately, still awaits a phonologist of sufficient enterprise and equipment.
		In the common speech, however, the i-sound persisted, and down to the time of the Civil War it was constantly heard in such words as boil, hoist, oil, join, poison and roil, which thus became bile, hist, ile, jine, pisen and rile.
		Critter is common to almost all the dialects of English, but American has embedded the vowel in a word that is met with nowhere else and has thus become characteristic, to wit, crick for creek.

	John Dewey: Knowledge and Speech Reaction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Without speech reaction the action which causes it is blind trial or error; with it, or rather through it, the evoking action becomes purposive, that is, continuous, cumulative To be more specific the response "this is a knife" is produced by reactions of seeing and incipient.
		A speech reaction is a direction to subsequent behavior: Look and see; listen and hear; jump, turn to the left remarks addressed to another who is in connection with ourselves, a partaker in the same behavior system, and then to ourselves, as a further re-agent, when there is no other person present.
		Commands, optatives and subjunctives are the primary modes of speech reaction; the indicative or expositive mood is an amplification.

	Speech disorders, hypernasal speech, hyponasal speech, palatoplasty; common pediatric ear, nose and throat (ent) ...
		Speech results from a sequence of events which includes producing airflow out of the lungs (exhaling), a vibration of the muscles of the voice box (vocal cords), and regulating the amount of resonating air allowed to escape the body through the mouth and/or nose.
		Both of these speech disorders are known as disorders of resonance (problems regulating the amount of air leaving the mouth and/or nose).
		Speech therapy may be all that is necessary for some forms of hypernasal speech.

	Literature Review - Speech Recognition for Noisy Environments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Speech restoration can now be viewed as either a transformation of the noisy and clean trajectories to a reference trajectory (normalisation) or a transformation from the noisy/clean trajectory to the clean/noisy trajectory (mapping).
		As speech is quasi-periodic with frequency modulation the spectral peaks of higher harmonics are broader and lower in amplitude compared to lower harmonics.
		During recognition a filtered estimate of clean speech is calculated on the basis of a sequence on noisy input vectors.

	Chapter 9. The Common Speech. 2. Spoken American As It Is. Mencken, H.L. 1921. The American Language
		They have a feeling that it is, in some recondite sense, superior to the common speech of their kind.
		Despite a gigantic effort to enforce certain speech habits, universally in operation from end to end of the country, the masses of people turn almost unanimously to very different speech habits, nowhere advocated and seldom so much as even accurately observed.
		Apparently inclining to this somewhat dubious notion, Dr. Charters applied to the School Board of Kansas City for permission to undertake an examination of the language actually used by the children in the elementary schools of that city, and this permission was granted.

		At the bottom of this error there is a real difficulty: the lack of a pronoun of the true common gender in English, corresponding to the French soi and son.
		Sometimes the two errors are combined, as in a speech heard by a correspondent from the lips of a Wyoming hotel-keeper: “Between I and you, him and her drinks too much.”
		It may be worth noting here that the misuse of me for my, as in “I lit me pipe,” is almost unknown in American, either standard or vulgar, though a correspondent in Philadelphia tells me that it is a localism in that city, and it is sometimes used by elderly persons of Irish birth.

		The nouns in common use, in the overwhelming main, are quite sound in form.
		The misuse of the perfect participle for the preterite, now almost the invariable rule in vulgar American, is common to many other dialects of English, and seems to be a symptom of a general decay of the perfect tenses.
		Having degenerated to such forms, it is now employed as a sort of auxiliary to itself, in the subjunctive, as in “if you had of went,” “if it had of been hard,” and “if I had of had.” 65 I have encountered some rather astonishing examples of this doubling of the auxiliary.

		It is common for children who are born with a cleft palate to have speech problems at some time in their lives.
		It is not unusual for a child who is born with a cleft palate to show a delay in both the onset of speech and the development of speech sounds during the first 9-24 months of age.
		When speech is produced correctly, the soft palate lifts and moves toward the back of the throat, separating the nasal cavity from the mouth so that air and sound can be directed out of the mouth.

		If they gave out awards for maintaining one's common sense in the middle of a dust-up involving a campus newspaper, one of the very few would have to go to Kirby Reed, president of the student government at George Mason University.

		Incidents such as this one suggest, on the contrary, that the principle of free speech is not just a pretty idea but one that must be allowed to work.
