Structure and Process in Speech Perception Proceedings of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Symposium on Dynamic Aspects of Speech Perception</Emphasis> held at I.P.O., Eindhoven, Netherlands, August 4-6, 1975

The purpose of the Symposium was to provide a meeting place for those working in the field of s·peech perception, whose main in­ terest is in the study of the perceptual processes in the deco­ ding of connected speech, hence the title Dynamic Aspects of Speech Perception. It was felt, after the meeting of the 8th ICA in London and the 2nd Speech Communication Seminar in Stockholm, 1974, that there should be an opportunity for an exchange of ideas on this topic with the emphasis on discussion and interpretation, rather than on the presentation of experimental results. The initiators set themselves up as a planning committee and asked the present editors to organize a symposium in Eindhoven at the Institute for Perception Research, which has a well established tradition in perceptual work. The present proceedings contain papers by contributors invited by the planning committee, as well as discussions. Most of the papers were circulated well in advance of the Symposium. We arranged the material in five sections: I. Theoretical Issues in Speech Perception Research II. Prosody in Speech Perception III. Some Storage Properties of Speech Perception IV. Short-term context effects, Dichotic listening, Speech Perception in the very young V. General discussion and tentative conclusions The order of papers is not the same as at the Symposium. Two papers are printed that were not introduced orally by their authors, viz. Front Matter....Pages I-X Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Understanding Speech Understanding....Pages 3-15 Some Stages of Processing in Speech Perception....Pages 16-35 What is it that we perceive when we perceive speech?....Pages 36-47 Front Matter....Pages 49-49 How a Full Account of Segmental Perception Depends on Prosody and Vice Versa....Pages 51-68 Perception of Segment Duration in Sentence Contexts....Pages 69-89 Perception of Segmental Duration....Pages 90-106 The Role of Intonation in Speech Perception....Pages 107-123 Anticipation in Speech Production and Its Implications for Perception....Pages 124-145 The Intonation-Syntax Interaction: Prosodic Features in Perceptual Processing of Sentences....Pages 146-160 Rhythmic Expectancy in Continuous Speech Perception....Pages 161-177 On the Dynamic Use of Prosody in Speech Perception....Pages 178-194 The Phonetic Structure of Paragraphs....Pages 195-206 Front Matter....Pages 207-207 Temporally Segmented Speech and “Echoic” Storage....Pages 209-225 Preperceptual Auditory Storage in Speech Recognition....Pages 226-245 Recognition Memory for Voices....Pages 246-265 Front Matter....Pages 267-267 Perception of Time-Varying Resonance Frequencies in Speech and Non-Speech Stimuli....Pages 269-282 Coarticulation of Lip Rounding and Its Perception....Pages 283-295 Dichotic Signs of Speech Mode Listening....Pages 296-311 Speech Perception in Children....Pages 312-338 Front Matter....Pages 339-339 Speech Understanding Systems and Speech Perception Theory....Pages 341-344 Front Matter....Pages 339-339 Some Psycholinguists’ Reactions to the Symposium on Dynamic Aspects of Speech Perception....Pages 345-351 Tentative Conclusions....Pages 352-353 Back Matter....Pages 355-356
