Quantal theory, enhancement and overlap
TLDR
Three aspects of a theory of speech production and perception: quantal theory, enhancement, and overlap are explored, showing that even though rapid speech phenomena can obliterate defining quantal information from the speech stream, nonetheless that information is recoverable from the enhancement history of the segment.About:

What information is necessary for speech categorization? Harnessing variability in the speech signal by integrating cues computed relative to expectations
Bob McMurray,Allard Jongman +1 more
TL;DR: Even simple categorization metrics can overcome the variability in speech when sufficient information is available and compensation schemes like C-CuRE are employed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement goals and feedback and feedforward control mechanisms in speech production
TL;DR: Several lines of evidence support the idea that speakers with more acute sensory discrimination acquire more distinct goal regions and therefore produce speech sounds with greater contrast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization and Quantization in Gradient Symbol Systems: A Framework for Integrating the Continuous and the Discrete in Cognition
TL;DR: Simulations of the resulting model suggest that Gradient Symbol Processing offers a way to unify accounts of grammatical competence with both discrete and continuous patterns in language performance.

The time course of perception of coarticulation
Patrice Speeter Beddor,Kevin B. McGowan,Kevin B. McGowan,Julie E. Boland,Andries W. Coetzee,Anthony Brasher +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, the time course of perception of velum lowering in American English indicates that the dynamics of perception parallelThe dynamics of the gestural information encoded in the acoustic signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Articulatory Knowledge in the Recognition of Dysarthric Speech
TL;DR: Although the statistics of vocal tract movement do not appear to be transferable between regular and disabled speakers, transforming the space of the former given knowledge of the latter before retraining gives high accuracy.

The Sound Pattern of English
Noam Chomsky,Morris Halle +1 more
TL;DR: Since this classic work in phonology was published in 1968, there has been no other book that gives as broad a view of the subject, combining generally applicable theoretical contributions with analysis of the details of a single language.

Explaining Phonetic Variation: A Sketch of the H&H Theory
Björn Lindblom,Björn Lindblom +1 more
TL;DR: In the H&H program the quest for phonetic invariance is replaced by another research task: Explicating the notion of sufficient discriminability and defining the class of speech signals that meet that criterion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Articulatory phonology: an overview.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the gestural approach clarifies the understanding of phonological development, by positing that prelinguistic units of action are harnessed into (gestural) phonological structures through differentiation and coordination.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the quantal nature of speech
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that the tendency for quantal relations among these acoustic, auditory, and articulatory parameters is a principal factor shaping the inventory of acoustic and articulation attributes that are used to signal distinctions in language.
