Status Report on Speech Research. A Report on the Status and Progress of Studies on the Nature of Speech, Instrumentation for Its Investigation, and Practical Applications.

Abstract

This report (1 October-31 December) is one of a regular series on the status and progress of studies on the nature of speech, instrumentation for its investigation, and practical applications. Manuscripts cover the following topics: Obituary--Dennis Butler Fry; Skilled actions: A task dynamic approach; Speculations on the control of fundamental frequency declination; Selective effects of masking on speech and nonspeech in the duplex perception paradigm; Vowels in consonantal context are perceived more linguistically than isolated vowels; Evidence from an individual differences scaling study; Children's perception of sounds: The relation between articulation and perceptual adjustment for coarticulatory effects; Trading relations among acoustic cues in speech perception: Speech-specific but not special; The role of release bursts in the perception of s-stop clusters; A perceptual analog of change in progress in Welsh; Single formant contrast in vowel identification; Integration of melody and text in memory for songs; The equation of information and meaning from the perspectives of situation semantics and Gibson's ecological realism; A comment on the equating of information with symbol strings; An ecological approach to perception and action; Mapping speech: More analysis, less synthesis, please; and Review (Towards a history of phonetics).
