Phonetics in the Brain Hardback
by Pelle (Lunds Universitet, Sweden) Soderstrom
Part of the Elements in Phonetics series
Hardback
Description
Spoken language is a rapidly unfolding signal: a complex code that the listener must crack to understand what is being said.
From the structures of the inner ear through to higher-order areas of the brain, a hierarchy of interlinked processes transforms the acoustic signal into a linguistic message within fractions of a second.
This Element outlines how we perceive speech and explores what the auditory system needs to achieve to make this possible.
It traces a path through the system and discusses the mechanisms that enable us to perceive speech as a coherent sequence of words.
This is combined with a brief history of research into language and the brain beginning in the nineteenth century, as well as an overview of the state-of-the-art neuroimaging and analysis techniques that are used to investigate phonetics in the brain today.
