“…Hypokinesis and rigidity contribute to the classic mask-like face with little or no expression, and also lead to such changes in voice that it is very difficult for the listener to hear the words clearly or discern some prosodic features. It is of little wonder, then, that these patients are often thought to be unintelligent and unfriendly (Monrad-Krohn, 1957).…”

The voices of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease change in various ways. This paper sets out to examine the effect of these changes on the impressions made on listeners, and to try to see what vocalic and prosodic features account for these impressions. Tape recordings from segments of interviews with 4 patients, and 4 control subjects with ischaemic heart disease, were played to 16 naive listeners. These listeners were asked to rate their impressions of these voices on 15 dimensions of personality. There were significant differences on most of the dimensions, despite the fact that there were no differences between the two groups on such scales as Beck's depression inventory and the mood adjective check list. The parkinsonian patients were seen to be cold, withdrawn and anxious, not to relate well to the interviewer and to be enjoying the interview less than the controls. These ratings are very similar to those previously reported for the same patients, using silent video recordings only. The voice recordings were analysed along various dimensions of prosody. The factors which were different between the groups included the frequency and type of pauses in speech and the range or variability of the fundamental frequency. The implications of this exploratory study for intervention are discussed.

“…Monrad-Krohn (1947, 1957, 1963 who was the first to arrive at a classification scheme for prosodic function and disorders in neurology, was first drawn to this area by a patient who exhibited what sounded like a foreign accent following a left frontal lobe lesion (MonradKrohn, 1947). Based on this patient (whom he initially diagnosed as aprosodic) and other patients, he classified prosody in four basic types (Monrad-Krohn, 1957). Intrinsic (linguistic) prosody referred to the proper distribution of stresses, pauses, and intonation to clarify meaning in a language.…”

“…Prosody comprises two categories, linguistic and affective prosody. This distinction was first proposed by Monrad-Krohn (1947, 1957 with three categories, viz. two categories for linguistic prosody (intrinsic prosody corresponding to word/sentence stress and intonation to mark modality and structure the message; and intellectual/propositional prosody for pragmatics) and one for emotional prosody.…”
