The Acoustics of Speech - SPH399
This unit is based around lecture and practical laboratory exercises. Essential topics in speech acoustics are addressed commencing with general acoustic theory, focusing particularly on the phenomenon of resonance. This is followed by an examination of the acoustic theory of speech production, which describes the interaction between vocal sound sources and the resonant or filtering effects of different vocal articulations. The unit examines in detail the acoustics of vowels and consonants, voice quality, prosody (intonation and stress) and coarticulation.
