How are ripples of air pressure instantly converted into words in the mind? Why do some foreign language learners have strong accents and others none? What does it take to engineer a bionic ear? This course will provide a focused review and discussion of topics related to how we hear and how we receive, perceive, and produce speech, including phonetics, phonology, auditory and speech perception, articulatory behavior, speech development, disorders of speech, hearing and speech prostheses, speech sound systems, second-language acquisition of speech, and other speech modalities (e.g., sign language, writing), as well as the physics of sound, the mechanics of how the ear works, and the neuroscience of speaking and hearing. |
