Description
Phonetics in the Brain provides a comprehensive exploration of how the human brain processes and manages phonetic information. This Elements in Phonetics volume delves into the neural foundations of speech perception and production, examining the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie our ability to recognize and produce speech sounds.
Pelle Söderström investigates the intricate relationship between phonetic theory and neuroscience, bridging the gap between traditional phonetics and modern brain imaging research. The book covers key topics including auditory processing, motor control of speech articulation, and the integration of phonetic knowledge in the brain. It synthesizes current neuroscientific findings with phonetic principles to provide a clearer understanding of how linguistic sounds are represented and processed neurologically.
Ideal for linguists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists, this accessible yet rigorous treatment offers valuable perspectives on the biological basis of human speech and language.
