Abstract
Intelligibility is an important part of communication and therefore an interesting topic to study. Dozens of studies on intelligibility have been done in recent years. All these studies had different features, components and backgrounds, and each in their own have their advantages, disadvantages and factors of influence. This text discusses, weighs and observes multiple studies done with pathological speech and language learner speech in order to create a general approach. Additionally, the text uses the general approach to create the ideal intelligibility experiment.
The text focuses on the procedure of research and all its features, which will take a big part when one wants to study intelligibility. The thesis seeks to answer the question: ‘What does the ideal intelligibility experiment look like?’. The purpose of this study is to present a review of the available literature concerning doing research in the field of intelligibility. It is hoped that this literature study will inform researchers and professionals about the procedure and current state of intelligibility research by patients and language learners.
