Summary:

Speech Production: Models, Phonetic Processes, and Techniques brings together the latest work of top researchers from many different disciplines-cognitive science, computer science, engineering, linguistics, phonetics, physiology, psychology, speech and language pathology-all with a special interest in how speech is produced.

From speech planning to the acoustic signal, the volume provides an overview of several dominant models in the speech production literature, as well as up-to-date accounts of central theoretical issues in the area. A particular focus is on the evaluation of information gleaned from instrumental investigations of the speech production process, including MRI, PET, ultrasound, video imaging, EMA, EPG, X-ray, computer simulation, and many others.

The research presented considers questions such as: the feedback vs. feedforward control of speech; the acoustic/auditory vs. articulatory/somatosensory domains of speech planning; the innateness of human speech; the possible architecture of a speech production model; and segmental and prosodic variation in the languages of the world.

The volume provides a valuable resource for students and researchers from a variety of backgrounds wanting both an overview and thorough treatment of current issues in speech production research.
