An Atypical Case Of Foreign Accent Syndrome

Keywords

Foreign Accent Syndrome; Speech changes; Stroke

Abstract

A new case of Foreign Accent Syndrome is described. This American woman presented with a British- or Australian- sounding accent after stroke, which resulted in a lacunar infarct in the left internal capsule. The atypical etiology and apparent changes in lexical use are described. It is hypothesized that an abnormally tense vocal tract posture may account for phonetic changes in vowel quality and a higher average fundamental frequency. © 2006 Taylor & Francis.
