Techniques in Speech Acoustics provides an introduction to the
acoustic analysis and characteristics of speech sounds. The first
part of the book covers aspects of the source-filter decomposition
of speech, spectrographic analysis, the acoustic theory of speech
production and acoustic phonetic cues. The second part is based on
computational techniques for analysing the acoustic speech signal
including digital time and frequency analyses, formant synthesis,
and the linear predictive coding of speech. There is also an
introductory chapter on the classification of acoustic speech
signals which is relevant to aspects of automatic speech and talker
recognition. Included with the book is a CD-ROM containing
extensive speech corpora, the EMU speech analysis tools, extensions
to the X-LISP-STAT programming language that are adapted to speech
analysis, and numerous exercises that are linked to the major
themes of the book and which can be run on Windows-95 and UNIX
platforms. The book and CD-ROM are intended for use as teaching
materials on undergraduate and postgraduate speech acoustics and
experimental phonetics courses; they are also aimed at researchers
from phonetics, linguistics, computer science, psychology and
engineering who wish to gain an understanding of the basis of
speech acoustics and its application to fields such as speech
synthesis and automatic speech recognition.
