Speech Production and Perception
Cursusdoel
- describe how the major bones, muscles and nerves of the head, face, and respiratory system interact, and how they function in speech production and the auditory system
- describe the main standard theories of speech production and perception, and the research on which these are based
- use basic common instruments for speech signal analysis, and can interpret data acquired using these methods
- as part of a group, design and carry out a limited piece of research which illustrates a particular theory of speech production or perception
In this course, the final course grade is based on five elements: two written exams, lab reports, a research paper, and active participation.
- Participation (weighting 10): this tests your ability to actively participate in an academic environment, critically evaluate relevant literature, and function as part of a group (Course goals 1-4).
- Midterm examination (weighting 10): this tests your knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and functioning of the speech production and the auditory system, and the main standard theories of speech production and perception (Course goals 1-2).
- End of term examination (weighting 20): this tests your knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and functioning of the speech production and the auditory system, and the main standard theories of speech production and perception (Course goals 1-2).
- Laboratory work (weighting 35): this tests your knowledge of and ability to use common instruments and software used in speech production and perception research (Course goals 3-4).
- Research paper (weighting 25): this tests your knowledge of and ability to use common instruments and software used in speech production and perception research, and your ability to design, carry out and report a limited piece of research which illustrates a particular theoretical concept of speech production or perception (Course goals 1-4).
Vakinhoudelijk
The human vocal tract is specially adapted to produce speech sounds. We can use the vocal folds to produce voicing for speech production. Voice is one of the most powerful perceived aspects of personal identity, but is difficult to define, categorize or synthesize. Real-time speech, produced with this voice, flouts most of the rules to which written text conforms. Indeed, most of us do not even speak in complete sentences. Despite this, normal speech is comprehensible to the normal listener, who will often go to extraordinary trouble to extract the intended message from the acoustic signal that we produce.
In this course, by linking the subjects of anatomy, physiology, acoustics, aerodynamics, articulation, psychology and linguistics, we address the interdisciplinary subject of speech production and perception. The course has an emphasis on laboratory work, through which we aim to provide the student with a theoretical and practical training in setting up and carrying out empirical research.
The first session will be a lecture on the weekly topic. In later weeks, laboratory sessions will be held interspersed with the lectures. These lab sessions will introduce students to various techniques in acoustic and perceptual phonetics.
At the end of the course, the students will write and present a research paper in which techniques offered in class are used to draw inferences on the mental organization of language. A list of topics will be provided by the instructor. Students may come with their own topic and a clear plan, but this must first be approved by the instructor.
