Again, this is a somewhat unique view of how prosodic disturbances mainly manifest themselves, and appears to be founded more on theoretical assumptions about prosodic organisation rather than on a strong base of empirical evidence. Crystal (1969) holds the strong opinion that some aspects of prosody are more ‘linguistic’ than others, with the intonation system being the most linguistic. This is his main justification for the PROP being essentially an analysis of intonation. I want to propose a contrary viewpoint; that most reported prosodic disturbances affecting the ability to communicate effectively have predominantly involved changes in speech timing and phrasing (Kent and Rosenbek, 1982; Gandour, 1987; Moen, 1991; Kent, 1990).

Disturbances in the perception and production of linguistic stress and rhythm are much more common than Crystal’s model of prosodic disorders gives credit (Kent, 1990). At issue here is the difficulty in distinguishing between the phonological and phonetic levels of representation for prosody.
