Explore the fundamental mechanisms of human speech production and perception in this comprehensive lecture delivered at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Language and Speech Processing. Delve into the physiological processes involved in generating speech sounds, from the coordination of respiratory, laryngeal, and articulatory systems to the acoustic properties of speech signals. Examine how the human auditory system processes and interprets speech sounds, including the neural pathways and cognitive mechanisms that enable speech comprehension. Learn about the relationship between speech production and perception, investigating how speakers monitor their own speech output and how listeners decode complex acoustic information into meaningful linguistic units. Discover key research methodologies used in speech science, including acoustic analysis techniques, physiological measurements, and perceptual experiments that have advanced our understanding of human communication systems.
