Syntax and Speech is the first extensive examination of the
relation between sentence structure and the organization of speech.
Combining the methods of cognitive psychology, linguistics, and
acoustics, the Coopers show that a surprising amount of syntactic
information is conveyed by the subtle ways a speaker times the
delivery of a sentence. Syntax and Speech provides abundant
experimental evidence that the syntactic boundaries of surface
phrase structure have strong effects on the timing of the speech
signal. The Coopers develop a detailed theory of structural
representation to account for the location of pauses and elongated
speech sounds. This work bears importantly both upon psychological
theories of speech production and linguistic theories of sentence
structure. Moreover, their methods of examining speech provide an
admirable model of how complex human behavior can be successfully
analyzed. The results, which can be applied to language pathology
and communications engineering and have clear parallels in other
expressive behaviors such as American Sign Language, music, and
animal communication, provide the starting point for many new lines
of research in cognitive science.
