Customer Reviews

For language teachers, speech pathologists, linguists ...

... and teachers of the deaf.Both Peter Denes and Elliot Pinson were communications scientists at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. Dr. Denes was Head of the Speech and Communication Research Department; Dr. Pinson was Head of the Computer Systems Research Department.Very useful material: In its own words, this book is "an explanation of processes involved in spoken communication, from the speaker's production of words, through transmission of sound, to the listener's perception of what has been said. The mechanism of hearing is also described."Highly recommended for teachers, researchers, students, and workers in this field.

Great Book

I am doing research on the Wiener Filter, and this book is a great introduction. Go get it!
