Speech sound production is one of the most complex human
activities: it is also one of the least well understood. This is
perhaps not altogether surprising as many of the complex
neurological and physiological processes involved in the generation
and execution of a speech utterance remain relatively inaccessible
to direct investigation, and must be inferred from careful scrutiny
of the output of the system -from details of the movements of the
speech organs themselves and the acoustic consequences of such
movements. Such investigation of the speech output have received
considerable impetus during the last decade from major
technological advancements in computer science and biological
transducing, making it possible now to obtain large quantities of
quantative data on many aspects of speech articulation and
acoustics relatively easily. Keeping pace with these advancements
in laboratory techniques have been developments in theoretical
modelling of the speech production process. There are now a wide
variety of different models available, reflecting the different
disciplines involved -linguistics, speech science and technology,
engineering and acoustics. The time seems ripe to attempt a
synthesis of these different models and theories and thus provide a
common forum for discussion of the complex problem of speech
production. Such an activity would seem particularly timely also
for those colleagues in speech technology seeking better, more
accurate phonetic models as components in their speech synthesis
and automatic speech recognition systems.
