Match the attributes of voice disorder (Pitch, Duration, Intensity) with their meanings (perceived quality, hesitations/repetitions, modifications of phoneme production).

Here are the answers to the remaining questions:

SECTION C (10 Points)
Match each of the following attributes of voice disorder in Column A with its meaning in Column B.

• 41. Pitch

  • A. This is the perceived quality of someone's voice.
  • Explanation: Pitch is the perceptual correlate of the fundamental frequency of vocal fold vibration, contributing significantly to the perceived quality (highness or lowness) of a person's voice.

• 42. Duration

  • C. This is characterised by hesitations and repetitions of a sound.
  • Explanation: While duration refers to the length of time a sound is produced, disorders affecting the timing and flow of speech (fluency disorders, like stuttering) are characterized by hesitations and repetitions, which directly involve disruptions in the duration of sounds and syllables.

• 43. Intensity

  • B. This refers to the modifications of the production of phonemes.
  • Explanation: Intensity refers to the loudness or volume of the voice. The provided option B, "modifications of the production of phonemes," describes articulation or phonological issues, which are related to how speech sounds are formed, not directly to the loudness of the voice. This is the remaining option, though it is not a direct or strong match for the meaning of intensity.
