Often cited as the most important human faculty, speech remains the focus of intensive study by specialists in such diverse fields as linguistics, psychology, physiology, engineering, computer science, speech pathology and neurology. This book not only summarizes the progress that has been made in understanding speech as an acoustic signal, but also endeavours to make speech visible - as patterns on paper or on a computer monitor. The development of this visual aspect of speech acoustics has given rise to new applications in a number of areas, including phonetics, speech synthesis, automatic speech recognition, speaker identification, communication aids, instructional programs, speech pathology and machine translation. The authors introduce readers to some related subjects that rarely appear together in a single volume. Among these topics are the acoustic theory of speech production, digital signal processing of speech signals, acoustic characteristics of phonetic segments, sources of variation in the acoustic structure of speech and speech synthesis. By showing how modern technology places the acoustic analysis of speech within the grasp of a broad range of professionals, this book will make speech acoustics accessible to a wider audience.
