Human Speech Production Mechanisms
نویسنده
چکیده
We use language every day without devoting much thought to the process, but articulatory movement—the movement of the lips, tongue, and other organs—is among the subtlest and most adept of any actions performed by human beings. Here, I discuss the mechanisms of speech production, introduce functions for producing sound by controlling the movement of vocal organs, and consider models for achieving speech functions that will enable a computer to mimic a voice that it hears.

Study on Unit-Selection and Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis Techniques
One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...
متن کاملResearching (Non) Fluent L2 Speakers’ Oral Communication Deficiencies: A Psycholinguistic Perspective
Fluency in a second language (L2) involves a quintessentially cognitive processing system that operates quickly and effectively. The perceived importance of researching fluency through a psycholinguistic lens has motivated the related L2 research to resort to current cognitive speaking-specific models. This study, drawing on Levelt’s (1999a) psycholinguistic model, probed the deficiency sources...
متن کاملMEG-measurements of brain activity reveal the link between human speech production and perception
Whether human speech perception depends on a biologically based link between production and perception or whether it is best characterised as a series of acoustic, phonetic, and semantic transformations has remained an unresolved issue. We addressed this question via the use of objective brain research methods combined with advanced stimulus production methodology. We removed the contribution o...
متن کاملThe Effect of Comprehensible Input and Comprehensible Output on the Accuracy and Complexity of Iranian EFL Learners’ Oral Speech
This study aimed at investigating the relative impact of comprehensible input and comprehensible output on the development of grammatical accuracy and syntactic complexity of Iranian EFL learners’ oral production. Participants were 60 female EFL learners selected from a whole population pool of 80 based on the standard test of IELTS. To investigate the research questions, the participants were ...
متن کاملImaging applications in speech production research
The primary focus of speech production research is directed towards obtaining improved understanding and quantitative characterization of the articulatory dynamics, acoustics, and cognition of both normal and pathological human speech. Such efforts are, however, frequently challenged by the lack of appropriate physical and physiological data. A great deal of attention is, hence, given to the de...
