"PHYSIOLOGICAL & ACOUSTICAL STUDIES OF SPEECH"

拟议工作的目的是获得有意义的实验证据 三个主题：（1）特征的部分， （2）语言，（2）当它们被 连接成更大的单位，和（3）模型的处理， 发生连接。 除了实验研究，我们还将 发展理论和模型，试图解释的影响， 人类感知、生产和认知系统的特点 在这三个领域。 与主题（1）相关的研究将 涉及收集关于生产，声学形式和感知的数据， 不同种类的语音，以及实验研究， 模拟人类发声的一些基本特性， 听觉感知系统 针对主题（2）的研究将 包括对发生在各种语言中的语音变异类型的研究， 语言，特别是英语，以及这种变化如何与 语言因素和生物力学因素以及言语原则 运动控制 关于演讲规划过程的研究（主题3）包括 研究协同发音规划，并确定声学语音 规则和它们的顺序在流利的讲话。 其他实验将检验 言语错误（使用错误诱发范式）和探索 说话者的分段操纵能力（涉及“游戏语言”，如 Pig Latin）。 结果将被解释为语音模型 规划

The aim of the proposed work is to obtain experimental evidence that bears on three topics: (1) the features that characterize the segments of language, (2) the surface form that segments take when they are concatenated into larger units, and (3) models of the processing by which concatenation occurs. In addition to the experimental studies, we will develop theories and models that attempt to account for the influence of characteristics of the human perception, production and cognition systems on all three of these areas. Research concerned with topic (1) will involve collecting data on the production, acoustic form and perception of various classes of speech sounds, together with experimental studies and modelling of some basic properties of the human sound-generating and auditory perception systems. Research directed toward topic (2) will include studies of the types of phonetic variation that occur in various languages, particularly English, and how this variation interacts with linguistic factors and with biomechanical factors and principles of speech motor control. Research on the speech planning process (topic 3) includes studies of coarticulation planning, and determination of acoustic-phonetic rules and their ordering in fluent speech. Other experiments will examine speech errors (using an error-elicitation paradigm) and explore segment-manipulating abilities of speakers (involving "play-languages" like Pig Latin). Results will be interpreted in terms of models for speech planning.
