Mafuyu Kitahara 2006-10-12 English Theme 46: Speech Chainsample presentation
Structure of this presentation • Chapter 1: pp.1-9 • Main point • Speech is important: efficient and convenient • Study of speech is useful: better communication, man-machine interface • What happens during speech? --- speech chain from speaker to listener
Figure1.1 • Linguistic level (spk): words in order • Physiological level (spk): nerve impulses and movements of vocal organs • Acoustic level: sound waves • Physiological level (lstn): ear to brain • Linguistic level (lstn): words in order
More on Figure 1.1 • Side link: feedback within speaker • Speaker listens to his own speech • Evidence: delayed feedback • Chain of events are in complex relations • e.g. the same b?t sound maps onto “bit”, “bet” or “bat”. • Ambiguous cues related to our background knowledge.
