Speech Production and Perception

---

Until the middle of the 20th century phonetics was largely concerned
with recording the sounds of languages and how they are made,
together with making comparisons between the sound inventories of
languages. We are still with that legacy in many ways. We compare
surface events noted in one language with another, or note observations
in spoken language and assign symbols with a system that requires
interpretation in the act of assignment. This technique is useful, but we
cannot see that it is productive in describing what speech is, or how it
can be most usefully modelled. Our view is that we need to know what
sounds can be produced, and then incorporate neurophysiological
and acoustic modelling into the discipline. Cognitive neuroscience

should be able to tell us what is possible in terms of production and per-
ception, and acoustic modelling should be able to characterise the actual

sounds made.
