En savoir plus sur le livre

This collection showcases the latest research in phonetics, featuring contributions from various experts. Key topics include the development of motor speech, dual-route phonetic encoding, and insights from apraxia of speech. Other studies explore masked priming of sublexical units and laryngoscopic analysis of pharyngeal articulations, alongside investigations into Russian vocalic systems and the prediction of intoxication levels through speech analysis. The book also addresses tongue-palate contact patterns in Hindi, challenges associated with singing vowels at high pitches, and performance issues in automatic speaker recognition systems. Additionally, it presents standardized comparisons of intonation models and examines voice quality measures in first and second language speakers. The pronunciation of foreign proper names by American English speakers and the creation of Hindi speech databases for research in speech recognition and synthesis are also discussed. The editor, Dr. Braun, has effectively compiled these papers into an accessible format that captures the essence of the IPS-98 meeting. This volume offers a broad appeal and serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and students, highlighting the diversity of current phonetic research.
