Inter-individual variation in speech is a topic of increasing
interest both in human sciences and speech technology. It can yield
important insights into biological, cognitive, communicative, and
social aspects of language. Written by specialists in
psycholinguistics, phonetics, speech development, speech perception
and speech technology, this volume presents experimental and
modeling studies that provide the reader with a deep understanding
of interspeaker variability and its role in speech processing,
speech development, and interspeaker interactions. It discusses how
theoretical models take into account individual behavior, explains
why interspeaker variability enriches speech communication, and
summarizes the limitations of the use of speaker information in
forensics.
This book proposes a detailed picture of the continuities and
ruptures between communication in primates and language in humans.
It explores a diversity of perspectives on the origins of language,
including a fine description of vocal communication in animals,
mainly in monkeys and apes, but also in birds, the study of vocal
tract anatomy and cortical control of the vocal productions in
monkeys and apes, the description of combinatory structures and
their social and communicative value, and the exploration of the
cognitive environment in which language may have emerged from
nonhuman primate vocal or gestural communication.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of
the 11th International Seminar on Speech Production, ISSP 2017,
held in Tianjin, China, In October 2017. The 20 revised full papers
included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from
68 submissions. They cover a wide range of speech science fields
including phonology, phonetics, prosody, mechanics, acoustics,
physiology, motor control, neuroscience, computer science and human
interaction. The papers are organized in the following topical
sections: emotional speech analysis and recognition; articulatory
speech synthesis; speech acquisition; phonetics; speech planning
and comprehension, and speech disorder.
When we speak, we configure the vocal tract which shapes the
visible motions of the face and the patterning of the audible
speech acoustics. Similarly, we use these visible and audible
behaviors to perceive speech. This book showcases a broad range of
research investigating how these two types of signals are used in
spoken communication, how they interact, and how they can be used
to enhance the realistic synthesis and recognition of audible and
visible speech. The volume begins by addressing two important
questions about human audio-visual performance: how auditory and
visual signals combine to access the mental lexicon and where in
the brain this and related processes take place. It then turns to
the production and perception of multimodal speech and how
structures are coordinated within and across the two modalities.
Finally, the book presents overviews and recent developments in
machine-based speech recognition and synthesis of AV speech.
