Abstract
This study examines the relationship between speech disorders, speech deformations, and communicative intention within a neuropsycholinguistic framework. While there is extensive research on speech impairments, little is known about how communicative intention relates to the perception of emotional intensity. Using a mixed-method approach that combines linguistic analysis with speech therapy case studies, this research explores how speech disorders disrupt effective communication and emotional expression. The findings suggest that speech impairments hinder the proper encoding of intentions, leading to misinterpretations and challenges in social interactions. These results highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to speech therapy, integrating linguistic, psychological, and neurological perspectives to enhance speech rehabilitation programs and support better social integration for individuals with speech disorders.
