Yellow Box Speech

In the yellow box, you can see that Mr. Hanson can produce nasalizations very well. In this image, he is making the /m/ sounds of “my motorcycle.” The nasal formants in the yellow boxes show the correct way to form a nasalization with low are dark first formant and a light space with little to no formant two.

In these screenshots, you can see that Mr. Hanson’s speech is pretty much constantly a nasalization. In the boxes above, the blue box is his normal speech, and the green box is the when the client is pinching his nose. You can see in the blue box that the first formant is pretty low and dark throughout his whole sentence. This is commonly seen in a nasal sound. Then, in the green box when he squeezed his nose, it can be seen that the formants return to a more “normal” frequency.

The patient is not able to build up the pressure to create a release burst, which is why a stop was not able to be produced. The purple box shows the dark, low frequency, which makes the sound look and seems like a nasal rather than the stop it should
