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 January-30 June) 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: Sources of variability in early speech development; Invariance: Functional or descriptive?; Brief comments on invariance in phonetic perception; Phonetic category boundaries are flexible; On categorizing asphasic speech errors; Universal and language particular aspects of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation; Functional specific articulatory cooperation following jaw perturbation; during speech: Evidence for coordinative structures; Formant integration and the perception of nasal vowel height; Relative power of cues: FO shifts vs. voice timing; Laryngeal management at utterance-internal word boundary in American English; Closure duration and release burst amplitude cues to stop consonant manner and place of articulation; Effects of temporal stimulus properties on perception of the (sl)-(spl) distinction; The physics of controlled conditions: A reverie about locomotion; On the perception of intonation from sinusoidal sentences; Speech Perception; Speech Articulation; Motor Control; Speech Development.
