RESEARCH PROGRAM ON DYNAMICS OF SPEECH ARTICULATION

呼吸、喉和喉上的协调 在正常的语音生产发音将检查使用 广泛的技术。 明确的协同发音模型将 在韵律变化上进行测试。 言语运动控制中的基本感觉运动相互作用 将在控制过程的框架内研究系统， 熟练的动作。 涉及控制过程缺陷的言语障碍 口吃和听力受损的语言将进行比较 与正常生产相比。 语音产生的计算模型将进一步 包括与发音语言的接口 合成器产生声音输出。 生理和光学 方法将用于改进模型的实施。 串行 神经网络技术的应用将在 建模

Coordination among respiratory, laryngeal and supralaryngeal articulators in normal speech production will be examined using a broad range of techniques. Explicit models of coarticulation will be tested over prosodic variations. Basic sensory motor interactions in the control of the speech motor system will be studied within the framework of control process for skilled action. Speech in disorders implicating defective control processes in stuttering and the speech of the hearing impaired will be compared with reference to normal production. A computational model of speech production will be further developed including interface with an articulatory speech synthesizer generating acoustic output. Physiological and optical methods will be used to improve the model implementation. Serial application of neural net techniques will be explored in the modeling.
