The purpose of this study is to investigate the features of Korean infants' vocalizations according to the stages models. A total 88 infants, whose ages range from 1 to 18 months, participated in this study. This age is a critical period for vocal development. However, the study of infants' vocalizations has typically focused on children over the age of two. Because of restrictions related to the study of younger infants, from birth to the age of two, it is usually difficult to investigate what are the major features of their vocal development. Therefore, this study provides documentation and analysis of the features of infant vocalization and their vocal development stages. The results shows that the stages model of Oller & Lynch (1992) might be adapted for Korean infants' vocal development. Furthermore, the features of the infants' vocalization are not linearly appeared one stage to the next stage, but are overlapped (Koopmans-van Beinum & van der Stelt, 1986; Nathani et al., 2006; Oller, 1980; Stark, 1980; Vihman, 1996).

Background and Objectives : Vocal abuse and misuse and muscle tension dysphonia that have various movements of false vocal folds may be related to the development of benign vocal folds lesions, such as vocal nodules, polyps, and cysts. This study was designed to determine whether benign vocal folds lesions were related with movements of false vocal folds on phonation. Material and Methods : One Hundred and seventy eight subjects were studied. All subjects received otolaryngological evaluation including videostroboscopy, objective voice measures. Patients were diagnosed as normal shape of vocal folds (group a), approximation of bilateral false vocal folds (group b), approximation of unilateral false vocal folds (group c), lateralized extension of false vocal folds (group d), and medialized approximation of posterior false vocal folds (group e). We analyzed the results of benign vocal folds lesions in each group. Results : Differences were found between the normal shaped group and the abnormal shaped group. No differences were found between each abnormal groups except group d and e. Conclusion : The shape of false vocal folds was related to the benign vocal folds lesions.

This study investigated changes in the prelinguistic vocal production of typically developing infants aged 5-20 months based on Stark Assessment of Early Vocal Development-Revised (SAEVD-R). Fifty-eight typically developing infants participated in the study, and they were divided into four age groups, 5-8 months, 9-12 months, 13-16 months, and 17-20 months of age. Vocalization samples were collected from infants' play activities and were classified into 5 levels and 23 types using SAEVD-R. The results revealed that the four age groups showed significant differences in production proportion of vocalization levels. Level 1, 2, 4, and 5 vocalizations exhibited significantly different across the four age groups. Level 3 was predominantly produced across every age group. Therefore, the vocalization level was not significantly different across the four age groups. Especially, vowels in Level 3 vocalization predominantly produced across all ages during a long period. Also, significant increases in the proportion of Levels 4 and 5 occurred after 9 months, which suggested that the production of cannonical syllables is a key indicator of advancement in prelinguistic vocal development. The results have clinical implication in early identification and speech-language intervention for young children with speech delays or at risk.

Type Ⅰ thyuroplasty in conjunction with arytenoid adduction is one of the excellent techniques in the treatment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis. But perioperative objective evaluation of the patients is difficult. With the development of the videostroboscopy and image analysis program, we could quantify the Glottal Area Waveform(GAW) in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis and investigated the relationship between the glottal area and aerodynamic and acoustic parameters. Eight female patients who were performed type Ⅰ thyroplasty in conjunction with arytenoid adduction and 5 females with normal vocal function were involved in this study. Preoperative and postoperative videostroboscopy and vocal function study wire performed. GAW was analysed quantitatively with image analysis program (Kay Stroboscope Image analysis, KSIP) Peak Glottal Area(PGA), Baseline Offset(BO), and Closing Phase(CP) were increased in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis and they were reduced after the operation. Mean flow Rate (MFR) was well correlated with the PGA in normal control group and unilateral vocal fold paralysis patients. Noise to harmonic ratio(NHR) was correlated with PGA only in preoperative unilateral vocal fold paralysis patients. In conclusion quantitative measurement of the GAW is useful method in evaluation of unilateral vocal f31d paralysis patients.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects in auditory performance and vocal development of Onomatopoeia and Mimetic Word Productive Training Program in prelingually deafened children with cochlear implantation. The effects were measured with Lip-profile (Listening progress profile: LiP), the number of utterances, vocal developmental level and phonetic inventory. Subjects were four children with cochlear implants who were able to detect speech sounds and environmental sounds. The Onomatopoeia and Mimetic word Productive Training Program was made up of 3 steps with 24 Onomatopoeia and Mimetic words. This study was pre and post design. The results of the study were as follows: First, after Onomatopoeia and Mimetic word Productive Training Program was treated, LiP score was significantly higher. Second, after this program was treated, the number of utterances and emergence of both canonical and postcanonical utterances were increased. Emergence of vowel and consonant Features were increased and diversified. In conclusion, Onomatopoeia and Mimetic Word Productive Training Program appeared to facilitate efficient auditory performance and vocal development.

Deafs train articulation by observing mouth of a tutor, sensing tactually the motions of the vocal organs, or using speech training aids. Present speech training aids for deafs can measure only single speech parameter, or display only frequency spectra in histogram of pseudo-color. In this study, a speech training aids that can display subject's articulation in the form of a cross section of the vocal organs and other speech parameters together in a single system is to be developed and this system makes a subject know where to correct. For our objective, first, speech production mechanism is assumed to be AR model in order to estimate articulatory motions of the vocal organs from speech signal. Next, a vocal tract profile model using LP analysis is made up. And using this model, articulatory motions for Korean vowels are estimated and displayed in the vocal tract profile graphics.

실용음악의 가창 및 악기에 대한 도제식 교육방식은 국내에 실용음악 교육이 도입된 이후부터 지금까지 큰 변화 없이 수용되어 왔다. '1대1 개인 레슨'이나 배정된 '전공지도 교수자에 의한 도제식 교육법' 이외의 다른 교수법에 대한 논의나 제안이 제기된 사례가 많지 않다. 1980년대 후반, 실용음악 교육이 국내에 소개된 이후 지금까지 실용음악 교육을 위한 CAI(Computer Aided Instruction) 코스웨어 개발은 실용음악 이외의 분야에서처럼 활발하게 이루어지지 않았다. 물론, 실용음악 분야에서도 컴퓨터를 활용한 음악 프로듀싱이나 영상 음악 분야의 비약적인 발전이 있었다. 하지만 발전된 컴퓨터 프로그램이 실용음악 교육에 적극적으로 적용되지 않고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 음악 제작 소프트웨어의 발전된 기능들을 활용하여 실용음악 가창 분야에서 전통적인 도제식 교육을 개선하기 위한 학습 방법에 대해 연구하고자 한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 음원의 음정 보정을 위해 개발된 피치 쉬프트(Pitch Shift)기술인 오토 튠(auto tune)을 활용한다. 이것을 통해 음정에 관한 실시간 피드백이나 녹음 후 모니터를 시각적으로 제공하여 가창 훈련 시 음정 정확성 향상을 유도할 수 있는 학습 방법을 제시하고자한다. 물론 가창력을 판단할 때 음정 정확도만 평가 되는 것은 아니며 음정 정확도 역시 발성, 발음 등의 복잡한 신체 능력에 영향을 받는다. 하지만 이 연구로 컴퓨터를 활용하는 교육이 실용음악 보컬 학습자들에게 시간적, 공간적 제한을 극복하여 더 효율적인 가창 훈련을 할 수 있는 방법 중 하나를 제시 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Vocal fold injection (VFI) is widely accepted as a first line treatment in treating unilateral vocal fold paralysis and other vocal fold diseases. Although VFI is advantageous for its minimal invasiveness and efficiency, the invisibility of the needle tip remains an essential handicap in precise localization. Real-time light-guided vocal fold injection (RL-VFI) is a novel technique that was developed under the concept of performing simultaneous injection with precise placement of the needle tip under light guidance. RL-VFI has confirmed its possibility of technical implementation and the feasibility in injecting the needle from various directions through ex vivo animal studies. Further in vivo animal study has approved the safety and feasibility of the procedure when various transcutaneous approaches were applied. Currently, RL-VFI device is authorized for clinical use by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea and is clinically applied to patients with safe and favorable outcome. Several clinical studies are currently under process to approve the safety and the efficiency of RL-VFI. RL-VFI is expected to improve the complication rate and the functional outcome of voice. Furthermore, it will support laryngologists in overcoming the steep learning curve by its intuitive guidance.
