Al Liberman, guru of speech perception theory, reveals all,
By JMPickett (Windy Hill Lab, Morgan Bay Rd, Surry, ME 04684) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speech: A Special Code (Learning, Development, and Conceptual Change) (Hardcover)
Here is the saga of speech science's major figure in perception research. Liberman's story is told in reprinted papers by him and his associates. In the end there is strong evidence of a specialized part of the brain that perceives speech sounds by referring the sounds to the actions of the speech organs that would be necessary to produce them, The Motor Theory of Speech Perception. This theory and its subsequent stimulation of hundreds of experiments is the single most productive theory in speech science. A thorough critical discussion of alternative theories, by linguist Sarah Hawkins, Cambridge University, is available in my textbook "The Acoustics of Speech Communication", Allyn and Bacon, 1999. - J.M. Pickett, macp@celestat.com.
