A compilation of the proceedings of a conference held to honor
Alvin M. Liberman for his outstanding contributions to research in
speech perception, this volume deals with two closely related and
controversial proposals for which Liberman and his colleagues at
Haskins Laboratories have argued forcefully over the past 35 years.
The first is that articulatory gestures are the units not only of
speech production but also of speech perception; the second is that
speech production and perception are not cognitive processes, but
rather functions of a special mechanism. This book explores the
implications of these proposals not only for speech production and
speech perception, but for the neurophysiology of language,
language acquisition, higher-level linguistic processing, the
visual perception of phonetic gestures, the production and
perception of sign language, the reading process, and learning to
read. The contributors to this volume include linguists,
psycholinguists, speech scientists, neurophysiologists, and
ethologists. Liberman himself responds in the final chapter.
