Clin Linguist Phon. 2007 Nov-Dec;21(11-12):869-74. doi: 10.1080/02699200701602433.

Abstract

This review examines the literature on the use of non-pulmonic egressive sounds in disordered speech. Studies are described that report the use of pulmonic ingressive speech, clicks, ejectives, and implosives. Broad trends are identified linking the use of each type of non-pulmonic-egressive airstream use with particular disorders. The importance of including these airstream types in both phonetic theory and practice classes in the training of speech-language pathologists is stressed.
