The Perception of Speech: From Sound to Meaning

By Brian C. J. Moore

Humans are unique in being able to convey such complex information using speech, and in the range of ideas, thoughts, and emotions that can be expressed. This crossdisciplinary book explores how the motor gestures of a speaker are transformed to sounds and how those are mapped onto meaning in the comprehension of spoken language.
