課程簡述 This course is designed to help undergraduates and graduates interested in linguistics acquire specialized knowledge of the factors that control and constrain the production and perception of speech. The course introduces the essential elements of speech sounds and empirical studies in phonetics. Students will learn to describe how speech sounds are produced in the human vocal tract, their form in the acoustic medium, and how listeners process the speech signal. We will discuss such issues as the physical and physiological factors in the production and perception of speech. We will explain the anatomical, physiological, aerodynamic, and non-muscular forces that underlie the articulatory movements yielding the acoustic speech waveform. Various speech motor control theories will be included. Additionally, we will discuss phonemic transcriptions, transcriptions of consonants and vowels, and broad and narrow transcriptions. Finally, computer programs that can analyze sounds and components will be used to analyze speech sounds. The focus will be on interpreting spectrograms and formants, pitch, duration, and other relevant components of prosody. We will explore how to make instrumental measurements of speech sounds and use such data to answer questions about the speech.
