25.01.2022 What an idea - borrow a human for 30 mins & talk to them!

25.01.2022 Le Bibliobus.. :)

25.01.2022 A list that won't disappoint - & then there's of course Maria Popova's own compilation of the best brainpickings texts in her book Figuring https://www.brainpickings.org/figuring/t - highly recommended ;)

25.01.2022 Should be an interesting challenge for translators :)

25.01.2022 If you keep a wee workbook of 10 phrases a day, how long before youre fluent?

25.01.2022 Interesting conundrum.. adopted stories did not initially relate to ethnicity or experiences of the papers very own native language readers..

24.01.2022 Love this, training police in 'verbal judo': "Instead of having them snap to attention I want.. them to make meaningful eye contact and initiate a conversation..", "Your core mission is not to have a nightstick and a gun and pepper spray your core mission is to support the constitution, protect people, while defending their civil rights.. and People talk about policing as it’s all about the guns and the weapons.. It’s all about the ability to influence human behaviour

24.01.2022 What an idea - borrow a 'human' for 30 mins & talk to them!

24.01.2022 Bird talk - & then theres always the cockatoo..

24.01.2022 Why its so hard to change ones mind: .. many Americans now see the life-and-death decisions of the coronavirus as political choices rather than medical ones.. your brother-in-law may be more amenable to messages from others who share his party loyalty but who have changed their mind.. This nasty, mysterious virus will require us all to change our minds as scientists learn more, and we may have to give up some practices and beliefs about it that we now feel sure of.

23.01.2022 As ever, a beautiful meditation on who we are from Brainpickings.. 'Changes in the brain happen only when there’s a difference between what was expected and what actually happens... & 'our brain is like the negative image of everyone you’ve come in contact with'.

23.01.2022 Thank you IKEA & Speech Buzz Speech Pathology Services for the creative forethought on how to stimulate language skills in lock down

22.01.2022 Love this: ..zero in on being precise with your language.. & as well as the other 5 rules..

22.01.2022 The healing of books..

21.01.2022 The language of comforting :)

19.01.2022 The word for children is 'flowers' Also fascinating the commonalities between some cultures - here there are the Seven Sister Mountains, Australian first peoples have the Seven Sisters legend btw Czech fairy tales often begin with 'Behind 7 mountains, over 7 rivers and through 7 woods there lived ..'

19.01.2022 Well, Speech Pathologists in Australia have been doing this for years.. but yes, reading recently that some US states have taken away disability eligibility & supports, the fact that they hadn't heard about this approach is perhaps not surprising..

19.01.2022 How many kiddies per dog, I wonder?

19.01.2022 A rich resource for our times, thanks to Patrick J.

19.01.2022 Ha ha, seems the robot got a few things wrong however.. https://news.expats.cz//the-guardians-scary-new-robot-aut/

19.01.2022 All writing has a kind of music to it. You really want to catch the note of the author.

18.01.2022 Glad to see the word Czech now has an acknowledged claim to infamy.. (& it'd be good to know the culprit of this spelling )

18.01.2022 Annie Glenn, who overcame her severe stutter to become a champion for people with speech disorders, was one of the Mighty Girl role models who passed away in 20...20. After being thrust into the spotlight when her husband, John Glenn, became the first American to orbit the Earth, Glenn participated in a fluency-shaping program that gave her newfound independence. She went on to advocate on behalf of people with communication disorders of all kinds and became an adjunct professor in the speech pathology department at Ohio State University. Her advocacy helped the world better understand how frustrating communicating with a speech disorder can be and how freeing it is to is to build fluency. "Now I can talk with people, and it is something I have never been able to do before," Glenn said an 1982 interview. "It is like a bird being let out of a cage." Glenn's stutter was in the "most severe" range; prior to the speech program, she said that "I could never get through a whole sentence. Sometimes I would open my mouth and nothing would come out." When reporters came to their house after her husband's historic flight, she recalled how she "didn’t want to be interviewed because of my stuttering." Following the three-week residential fluency program, she could finally perform day-to-day tasks like making a phone call or asking a store clerk where to find something. Going public about her experience with a speech disorder helped change lives, says David M. Shribman, executive editor emeritus of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who has a stutter himself. "Annie Glenn remains a hero to many of us who in various periods of our lives couldn’t get a word, a thought, or a sentiment past our lips," he says. "She fought her condition, to be sure, but she also fought for the idea that stutterers weren’t merely shy, weren’t unintelligent, weren’t social pariahs." When her husband of 73 years was considering a presidential run in the early 1980s, he was asked by a reporter if he had ever hesitated to marry someone with such a severe stutter. In response, the astronaut and then U.S. senator replied: "That never really made any difference. I don’t know, maybe it was just that we grew up together with it, and I knew the person she was and loved the person she was, and that was that. For an empowering children's book about disability by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor that celebrates the different abilities that make each of us unique - and includes among the 12 children featured one with a communication disorder - we highly recommend "Just Ask" for ages 4 to 9 at https://www.amightygirl.com/just-ask For a fascinating book about another pioneering woman who struggled with a stutter, we recommend "Seized By The Sun: The Life and Disappearance of World War II Pilot Gertrude Tompkins" for ages 13 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/seized-by-the-sun Gabriela, the 2017 Girl of the Year from American Girl, uses spoken word poetry to help overcome her stutter -- to check out the first 'Gabriela' book for ages 8 to 12, visit https://amzn.to/2ynVWVC For more books that encourage understanding and acceptance of people with disabilities of all varieties, visit our blog post "Many Ways To Be Mighty: 25 Books Starring Mighty Girls with Disabilities" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=12992

17.01.2022 Therapy combining music, language & the body / mind

17.01.2022 Robots learning to recognise kids' speech & voices ( & Aussie accents :) )

16.01.2022 Access to indigenous interpreters improves outcomes, reduces self-discharge rates.. but still the access is probably not as good as for non-indigenous patients to interpreters from other languages? Good to have some data. Also often when Ive alerted indigenous colleagues to similar articles, they just say this has been evident to them for years :)

16.01.2022 As ever, a beautiful meditation on who we are from Brainpickings.. Changes in the brain happen only when theres a difference between what was expected and what actually happens... & our brain is like the negative image of everyone youve come in contact with.

16.01.2022 Hilarious.. as a speech pathologist, I usually try to help people insert plosives ! Larry on in merry nwenwy nwenwy one

15.01.2022 Wot - are they perhaps using google translate?

15.01.2022 In theory, pictures convey value added info - as suggested by Comenius in 1648 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbis_Pictus

15.01.2022 What sound does a (Medieval) book make? That & all else to know re Medieval publications to be found here.. https://www.khanacademy.org//listening-to-the-medieval-boo

15.01.2022 What a marvellous concept - in orthodox Jewish tradition, when a child turns 5 and enters a cheder to study, they are presented with a plate on which the (Hebrew) alphabet is written in honey. The child is told to lick it, so they will learn how sweet it is. Thanks to & for the translation of a song referring to Moroccan Jewry, & also via Lena Y: With us in Tudra village In the heart of the Atlas Mountains They would take the child... Who turned five A flower crown is made for him With us in Tudra village Crown in head dress him Who turned five All the kids on the street Its a big celebration for him Who turned five With us in Tudra village Then the groom of joy Who turned five With us in Tudra village They are put in the synagogue And write on a wooden board Honey from A to Z All cloth And they say to him: Honey, lick! And there was the Torah in the mouth Sweet as honey taste With us in Tudra village In the heart of the Atlas Mountains

13.01.2022 The things one learns stimes.. how were programmed to socialise by afferent-C tactile fibres & grooming endorphins, to form new kinships - & survive :)

13.01.2022 Frog language & interstate accents Such interesting listening, who'd have ever thought some of these sounds were frogs? Or that Oz had the world's largest repository (thanks to backyard citizen scientists & smartphones) of frog recordings

12.01.2022 A shame anyone's even thought about dusting off & bringing back this unfounded idea :(

12.01.2022 The wonderful world of 'rock language' - also love the video

12.01.2022 Had reason to look up the difference b/w bison & buffalo, to learn this & more from Wiki (they are actually bison, but the term buffalo is still accepted by many dictionaries): ‘Samuel de Champlain applied the term buffalo (buffles in French) to the bison in 1616, after seeing skins.. shown to him by members of the Nipissing First Nation, who said they travelled 40 days to trade with another nation who hunted the animals. In Plains Indian languages in general, male & female... buffaloes are distinguished, eg in Arapaho: bii (buffalo cow), henéécee (buffalo bull) & in Lakota: pté (buffalo cow), tatáka (buffalo bull). Such a distinction is not a general feature of the language (eg Arapaho possesses gender-neutral terms for other large mammals such as elk, mule deer, etc.), & so presumably is due to the special significance of the buffalo in Plains Indian life and culture. Buffalo hunting.. was an activity fundamental to the Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains. This activity was later adopted by American professional hunters, as well as by the U.S. government, in an effort to sabotage the central resource of some American Indian Nations during the later portions of the American Indian Wars, leading to the near-extinction of the species around 1890. For many tribes the buffalo was an integral part of lifesomething guaranteed to them by the Creator. In fact, for some Plains indigenous peoples, bison are known as the first people. The concept of species extinction was foreign to many tribes. Thus, when the U.S. government began to massacre the buffalo, it was particularly harrowing to the Indigenous people. As Crow chief Plenty Coups described it: "When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground, and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened. There was little singing anywhere." Spiritual loss was rampant; bison were an integral part of traditional tribal societies and they would frequently take part in ceremonies for each bison they killed to honor its sacrifice. In order to boost morale during this time, Sioux and other tribes took part in the Ghost Dance, which consisted of hundreds of people dancing until 100 persons were lying unconscious.' See more

11.01.2022 From image to speech: A shaman of the Naxi Indigenous people in southwest China, Za Shi Duzhi, prepares for a healing ceremony by reading a shamanic text, written in Dongba. The pictographs act as mnemonics, to help the shaman remember the sequence of events & the meanings of rituals. Dongba is the only remaining pictographic system in use throughout the world.

11.01.2022 Ha ha.. "Intelligence organizes the world by organizing itself" (Piaget) .. & arranges all the essential creature comforts: hot water, toaster, honey, day & night light, no computer (& probably no fire alarm).. but I bet Piaget knew exactly where everything was..

07.01.2022 Every so often, my Speech Pathology profession throws up a reference which can be a real revelation, here it quotes from Russian philosophers M. Bakhtins Discourse in the Novel from 1935: "All words have taste of a profession, a genre, a tendency, a party, a particular work, a particular person, a generation, an age group, the day & hour. Each word tastes of the context & contexts in which it has lived its socially charged life; all words are populated by intentions. Contextual overtones (generic, tendentious, individualistic) are inevitable in the word." Need to read more of Mr B.

07.01.2022 How good writing rings true with contour, rhythm & authority

05.01.2022 Interesting: .. recent work has demonstrated that some memories must be reconsolidated each time theyre recalled. If so, the act of remembering something makes that memory temporarily malleableletting it be strengthened, weakened, or otherwise altered. Memories may be more easily targeted by medications during reconsolidation, which could help treat conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
