Abstract

The study aimed to develop Speech Range Profile (SRP) and to examine and validate its clinical application. Forty-five participants without voice disorders aged 18-29 years were compared using SRP and Voice Range Profile (VRP). The authors developed the "Fire!" paragraph as a SRP task compromising 14 sentences including all Korean spoken phonemes and sentence types. To compare SRP and VRP results, the participants read the paragraph (reading) and counted from 21 to 30 (counting) as a part of SRP tasks, and produced a vowel /a/ from low to high frequencies (gliding) and a shortened form of the VRP as a part of VRP tasks. $F0_{max}$, $F0_{min}$, $F0_{range}$, $I_{max}$, $I_{min}$, and $I_{range}$ for each task were measured and compared, showing that $F0_{max}$, $F0_{min}$, $F0_{range}$, $I_{max}$, and $I_{range}$ were not different between reading and gliding. $I_{min}$, had the lowest value in counting. It is concluded that the newly developed SRP task, reading the "Fire" paragraph, can yield a maximum phonation range similar to that found by VRP. Therefore, it is expected that voice evaluation can be effectively performed in a relatively short time by applying SRP with the "Fire" paragraph, a functional utterance task, in place of VRP, which may be difficult to measure long term or in cases of severe voice disorders.

본 연구는 발화범위 프로파일(Speech Range Profile, SRP) 과제를 개발하고, 개발된 SRP 과제가 최대발화범위를 측정하기에 적합한지 살펴보기 위해 45명의 18-29세 정상음성군을 대상으로 음성범위 프로파일(Voice Range Profile, VRP) 과제와 비교하였다. 이를 위해 한국어의 모든 말소리와 문장 유형을 포함하는 14개 문장으로 구성된 "불이야"문단을 개발하였다. SRP와 VRP 간의 차이를 비교하기 위해 SRP 과제로는 새롭게 개발된 문단으로 문단읽기와 21-30까지 숫자세기를 사용하였고, VRP 과제는 /a/ 모음을 낮은 음도부터 높은 음도까지 활창하기와 축약된 VRP를 사용하였다. SRP와 VRP의 변수로 최고기본주파수($F0_{max}$), 최저기본주파수($F0_{min}$), 기본주파수범위($F0_{range}$), 최대음성강도($I_{max}$), 최소음성강도($I_{min}$) 및 음성강도범위($I_{range}$)를 측정한 후 과제 간 차이를 비교하였다. 그 결과, $F0_{max}$, $F0_{min}$, $F0_{range}$, $I_{max}$ 및 $I_{range}$는 모두 문단읽기의 SRP와 활창하기의 VRP 간에 차이가 없었고, $I_{min}$은 숫자세기의 SRP가 가장 낮은 평균값을 보였다. 즉 새롭게 개발된 SRP 과제인 "불이야" 문단은 정상 음성 산출 화자에서 모음만을 통해 측정된 VRP의 음역대와 유사한 수준의 음역대를 산출할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 이에 오랜 시간이 소요되거나 중증도의 음성장애에서 측정이 어려울 수 있는 VRP를 대신하여 기능적 말산출 과제인 SRP를 적용함으로써 국내 임상환경에서 비교적 짧은 시간 내에 음성평가를 효과적으로 실시할 수 있을 것으로 본다.
