Greetings podcast listener! I’m happy to welcome back Mr. Russell Cross of the Prentke Romich Company (PRC) to talk about keyword vocabulary, phrasal verbs, and of course…core vocabulary. Russell is the resident speech-language pathologist for PRC (Director of Clinical Applications). He was one of the original authors of Unity language found on all PRC devices and most recently worked with Paul Andres to bring us Realize Language (if you haven’t already, please check out my previous conversation with Russell and Paul here). Enjoy the show! Links: Here is the blog post on Keywords courtesy of The Speech Dudes Davies, M. (2008-). The Corpus of Contemporary American English: 425 million words, 1990-present.
