Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we do when we are about to utter speech? On which linguistic units do we rely? How do these units evolve from childhood to adulthood, or across time for a given language? How do we assemble these units under the influences of syntactic, phonological and prosodic rules? Do we plan the whole sequence at once? Do we plan the movements of the tongue, jaw, and lips underlying speech in the same way that we plan other movements? What tools have scientists developed to investigate these questions using observation of articulatory and acoustic signals? This book addresses these issues in eight chapters. Written by specialists in the field, these chapters provide the readers with a large overview of the literature, and illustrate the research challenges using selected examples of experimental studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speech Production: Models, Phonetic Processes and Techniques brings together researchers from many different disciplines - computer science, dentistry, engineering, linguistics, phonetics, physiology, psychology - all with a special interest in how speech is produced. From the initial neural program to the end acoustic signal, it provides an overview of several dominant models in the speech production literature, as well as up-to-date accounts of persistent 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, ultra-sound, video-imaging, EMA, EPG, X-ray, computer simulation - and many others. The research presented in this volume considers questions such as: the feed-back vs. feed-forward control of speech; the acoustic/auditory vs. articulatory/somato-sensory domains of speech planning; the innateness of human speech; the possible architecture of a speech production model; and the realization of prosodic structure in speech. Leaders in speech research from around the world have contributed their most recent work to this volume.

Book excerpt: This book explores the nature of cognitive representations and processes in speech motor control, based primarily on evidence from speech timing. It engages with the key question of whether phonological representations are spatio-temporal, as in the Articulatory Phonology approach, or symbolic (atemporal and non-quantitative); this issue has fundamental implications for the architecture of the speech production planning system, particularly with regard to the number of planning components and the type of timing mechanisms. Alice Turk and Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel outline a number of arguments in favour of an alternative to the Articulatory Phonology/Task Dynamics model. They demonstrate that a different framework is needed to account for evidence from speech and non-speech timing behaviour, and specifically that three separate planning components must be posited: Phonological Planning, Phonetic Planning, and Motor-Sensory Implementation. The approach proposed in the book provides a clearer and more comprehensive account of what is known about motor timing in general and speech timing in particular. It will be of interest to phoneticians and phonologists from all theoretical backgrounds as well as to speech clinicians and technologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation seeks to enhance understanding of speech mechanisms by employing computational modeling in two key areas: understanding how the brain builds speaker-independent representations of heard speech sounds and why apraxic speakers are unable to effectively generate speech motor programs. The first portion of the dissertation introduces the Neural Normalization Network model (NormNet) that has been developed to explain how the human brain is able to convert speaker-dependent acoustic information into speaker-independent language representations. NormNet is part of an emerging model of auditory streaming and speech categorization. Multiple strip representations and asymmetric competitive circuits are both used in the auditory streaming and speaker normalization parts of the model, thereby suggesting that these two circuits arose from similar neural designs. NormNet is able to explain and accomplish speaker normalization by generating pitch-independent representations of speech sounds while preserving information about speaker identity. The speaker-independent representations are categorized into unitized speech items, which input to sequential working memories whose distributed patterns can be rapidly categorized into syllable and word representations and stably remembered by Adaptive Resonance Theory circuits. Model simulations use synthesized steady-state vowels from the Peterson and Barney (1952) database. The model achieves accuracy rates similar to those achieved in human listeners. The second portion of the dissertation investigates how brain lesions in patients with apraxia of speech (AOS) give rise to different behavioral characteristics. AOS is a disorder of the planning and/or programming of speech production without comprehension impairment and without weakness in the speech musculature. The DIVA model (Directions into Velocities of Articulators) and the GODIVA model (Gradient Order DIVA) provide a framework for theorizing about two possible subtypes of AOS. The first subtype is hypothesized to arise from damage to the inferior frontal sulcus region (IFS). This damage would result in fluent productions of erroneous or misplaced speech sounds. The second subtype is hypothesized to arise from damage to the frontal operculum region (FO). This damage would result in poorly articulated approximations of the desired syllables. These hypotheses are tested by investigating damage scenarios in DIVA and GODIVA. The results are compared to an apraxic patient case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that speech is a dynamic process is a tautology: whether from the standpoint of the talker, the listener, or the engineer, speech is an action, a sound, or a signal continuously changing in time. Yet, because phonetics and speech science are offspring of classical phonology, speech has been viewed as a sequence of discrete events-positions of the articulatory apparatus, waveform segments, and phonemes. Although this perspective has been mockingly referred to as "beads on a string", from the time of Henry Sweet's 19th century treatise almost up to our days specialists of speech science and speech technology have continued to conceptualize the speech signal as a sequence of static states interleaved with transitional elements reflecting the quasi-continuous nature of vocal production. This book, a collection of papers of which each looks at speech as a dynamic process and highlights one of its particularities, is dedicated to the memory of Ludmilla Andreevna Chistovich. At the outset, it was planned to be a Chistovich festschrift but, sadly, she passed away a few months before the book went to press. The 24 chapters of this volume testify to the enormous influence that she and her colleagues have had over the four decades since the publication of their 1965 monograph.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the motor system in speech perception has provoked considerable debate over the past 50 years. Motor and sensory cortices are traditionally thought to be functionally separate systems. However, many studies have shown their roles in both action and perception to be highly integrated. In particular, this has been observed in regard to speech, where listening to speech sounds elicits neural activity in motor regions of the brain in both adults and infants. The primary goal of the present study was to investigate the role of motor and motor planning brain regions in speech perception throughout various stages of language development. Three datasets containing magnetoencephalography (MEG) data from 2-, 6-, 7-, and 11-month-old infants and adults were used to address four experimental questions related to the role that motor brain systems play in the auditory perception of speech. The four experimental questions examine the relationship between activation in auditory sensory and motor regions of the brain with respect to: 1) the temporal structure of activation in sensory as opposed to motor brain regions, 2) the development of neural responses with increasing age, 3) the role of language experience, and 4) potential differences between speech as opposed to nonspeech auditory signals. Results showed that motor and motor planning regions are activated during speech perception across all ages. At 2 months of age, infants show activity in both motor and motor planning regions in response to speech, but not to nonspeech acoustic stimuli. This provides evidence that infants’ activation of sensory and motor brain regions in response to speech does not require experience producing speech.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Language Production provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary review of the complex mechanisms involved in language production. It describes what we know of the computational, linguistic, cognitive, and brain bases of human language production - from how we conceive the messages we aim to convey, to how we retrieve the right (and sometimes wrong) words, how we form grammatical sentences, and how we assemble and articulate individual sounds, letters, and gestures. Contributions from leading psycholinguists, linguists, and neuroscientists offer readers a broad perspective on the latest research, highlighting key investigations into core aspects of human language processing. The Handbook is organized into three sections: speaking, written and sign languages, and how language production interfaces with the wider cognitive system, including control processes, memory, non-linguistic gestures, and the perceptual system. These chapters discuss a wide array of levels of representation, from sentences to individual words, speech sounds and articulatory gestures, extending to discourse and the broader social context of speaking. Detailed supporting chapters provide an overview of key issues in linguistic structure at each level of representation. Authoritative yet concisely written, the volume will be of interest to scholars and students working in cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, computer science, audiology, and education, and related fields.

Book excerpt: This volume explores how the patterning of surface variation can shed light on the grammatical representation of variable phenomena. The authors explore variation in several domains, addressing intra- and inter-dialectal patterns, using diverse sources of data including corpora of naturally-occurring speech and judgment studies, and drawing on lesser-studied varieties of familiar languages, such as Northwest British Englishes and varieties of Canadian French. Ultimately, the contributions serve to expand our understanding of the nature of the mental representations and abstract processes required to support variation in language.
