A comprehensive overview is given of all aspects of the problem from the physics of speech production through the hierarchy of linguistic structure and ending with some observations on language and mind. The author comprehensively explores the argument that these modern technologies are actually the most extensive compilations of linguistic knowledge available.Throughout the book, the emphasis is on placing all the material inSpeech processing systemsComputational linguisticsApplied linguisticsMathematicsStochastic processesKnowledge, Theory ofSpeech processing systems.Computational linguistics.Applied linguisticsMathematics.Stochastic processes.Knowledge, Theory of.006.4/54/015118Levinson Stephen E157418MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911019863803321Mathematical models for speech technology4423046UNINA
