“…The pattern of prosodic improvement in our study is also in line with the results of Klieve and Jeanes [16] who detected considerable improvement of prosodic skills of children with hearing impairment after a 10-week intervention program targeting prosodic perception skills such as affect, loudness, question and statement, chunking and stress and reported their effect on the improvement of prosodic production abilities.…”

“…Speech training programs aim at providing activities targeting auditory discrimination, imitation, and eliciting appropriate speech production. Klieve and Jeanes [16] applied an intervention program that included activities focusing on tone and affect, questions and statements, intensity, stress, chunking, and grammar. The program activities highlighted meaning distinctions delivered by speech prosody.…”

Background Children with hearing impairment are deprived of their source of linguistic input which in turn leads to linguistic and prosodic deficits that negatively affect language and social development. Linguistic aspects other than prosody have received considerable attention in studies concerned with hearing-impaired children with little literature addressing how to improve their affective prosodic deficits. The aim of the current study is to adapt and apply the “prosody treatment program” and detect the effect of prosodic rehabilitation on affect production and language development in Egyptian hearing-impaired children. This study was conducted on 21 children with sensorineural hearing loss. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups, group A (cases) and group B (control) by block randomization. The subjects of the study were evaluated pre and post-therapy by a protocol for assessment of their prosodic skills using subjective and objective measures. Both groups received the usual auditory and language rehabilitation therapy. The case group additionally received rehabilitation for prosody using the “prosody treatment program” for 3 months. Results Results showed a statistically significant improvement in the subjective scores and most of the objective scores of the assessed affective prosodic skills when comparing pre-therapy and post-therapy scores in the cases group, and when comparing both studied groups post-therapy. Conclusions Prosodic training has an additional benefit evident in improving affective prosodic skills of hearing-impaired children compared to conventional therapy alone with a positive effect on their linguistic development. Trial registration The trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.govNCT04691830. Registered under the name “Adaptation of a Rehabilitation Program for Prosody and its Application on Egyptian Hearing Impaired Children”. Retrospectively registered:

“…This is given by the fact that, when starting an utterance, the subglottal air pressure in the speaker is higher than towards its end. In accordance with these studies, previous research has shown positive effects of emphasized prosodic features in language comprehension (Klieve and Jeanes 2001) and in perception of interrogative forms (See et al 2013) in children with hearing deficits.…”

The aim of the present work is to investigate the facilitating effect of vocal emotional intonation on the evolution of the following processes involved in language: (a) identifying and producing phonemes, (b) processing compositional rules underlying vocal utterances, and (c) associating vocal utterances with meanings. To this end, firstly, I examine research on the presence of these abilities in animals, and the biologically ancient nature of emotional vocalizations. Secondly, I review research attesting to the facilitating effect of emotional voice intonation on these abilities in humans. Thirdly, building on these studies in animals and humans, and through taking an evolutionary perspective, I provide insights for future empirical work on the facilitating effect of emotional intonation on these three processes in animals and preverbal humans. In this work, I highlight the importance of a comparative approach to investigate language evolution empirically. This review supports Darwin’s hypothesis, according to which the ability to express emotions through voice modulation was a key step in the evolution of spoken language.

“…This applies across a range of tasks tapping into, for example, emotional prosody (Hopyan-Misakyan et al, 2009;Nakata et al, 2012) and question vs. statement intonation (Peng et al, 2008). Despite the importance of prosodic stress for the segmentation of speech, there are only a handful of studies assessing prosodic stress perception in children with CIs (Word and sentence stress: Klieve & Jeanes, 2001;Most & Peled, 2007;O ' Halpin, 2010. Word stress: Lyxell et al, 2009, Titterington et al, 2006.…”
