This attractive volume is the result of a workshop held at ATR (Advanced Telecommunications Research) Laboratories, Kyoto, in November 1990, immediately preceding the lntetnational Conference on Spoken Language Processing in Kobe. The contributions are arranged into two major sections (Speech Perception; Speech Production and Linguistic Structure), each of which has three subsectbns. Each of these contains a number of articles followed (with one exception) by several shorter commentaries; the exact distribution is: 5+2, 2+2, 5+4; 2, 3+3, 5+2. Thus there are 22 articles and 13 commentaries in all. Nearly all authors are well-established researchers, roughly one third of them Japanese, the majority from the United States, plus a few European representatives. The first subsection deals with the rather specific topic of “Contextual Effects in Vowel Perception”, with papers by Sumi Shigeno, Robert Allen Fox, Caroline B. Huang, and Masato Akagi, followed by comments from Dominic W. Massaro and Sieb G. Nooteboom. Context effects are not only interesting from a general psychophysical perspective but constitute one of the central problems faced by automatic speech recognition. The contributions by Huang and Akagi represent this latter perspective, while Shigeno and Fox are primarily concerned with modelling human perception. Shigeno’s study (a slightly condensed version of Shigeno, 1991) represents a continuation of her earlier careful work on contextual effects in the perception of isolated vowels as a function of category membership, spectral distance, and temporal proximity. The most salient result is that successive vowels show contrastive effects as long as they belong to different categories, but assimilative effects when they belong to the same category. In agreement with dual-process models of categorical perception, Shigeno suggests that assimilation occurs in auditory memory, whereas contrast arises from categorical representations. Fox reports four experiments aimed at demonstrating that phonotactic regularities of the language constrain vowel perception in syllabic contexts. He compares the identification of vowels in open syllables and in the context of a following /I/, which
