The purpose of the study is to examine intonation patterns of cochlear implanted children compared with those of normal hearing children. The data tokens of three normal and five cochlear implanted children were collected and investigated. Their intonation patterns were analyzed using the speech analysis tool, Praat. The characteristics of the two utterance types, interrogative and declarative, were investigated. No significant difference in intonation patterns vetween the two subject groups was found. However, the general pitch of cochlear implanted children was higher than that of normal hearing children. In addition, cochlear implanted children showed frequent pitch breaks.
