Self-organizing processes and the explanation of phonological universals
The Evolutionary Emergence of Language
Language has no counterpart in the animal world. Unique to Homo sapiens, it appears inseparable from human nature. But how, when and why did it emerge? The contributors to this volume - linguists, anthropologists, cognitive scientists, and others - adopt a modern Darwinian perspective which offers a bold synthesis of the human and natural sciences. As a feature of human social intelligence, language evolution is driven by biologically anomalous l…

Cues to What? A Comment on Diehl and Kluender 'On the Objects of Speech Perception
The principle of auditory enhancement is a valuable extension of the theory of adaptive dispersion. However, neither the principle nor the theory has any bearing on what we perceive in speech. All perceptual objects, including those of speech, are abstract, amodal structures made available to cognition through one or more sensory modalities. A focus on the modalities or media of information transfer in speech perception diverts attention from two…

Speech Perception
The paper reviews selected studies in speech perception, most of them published in the past five years. Topics include the contributions of prosody to segmental perception, the problems of segmentation and invariance, categorical perception of speech and non-speech, the role of feature detectors, the scaling of speech sounds to an auditory-articulatory space, acoustic phonetic dependencies within the syllable, the contributions of higher order (n…

Auditory and Linguistic Processes in the Perception of Intonation Contours
The fundamental frequency contour of a 700-msec. vocoded utterance, "November" [no'vεmb ], was systematically varied to produce 72 contours, different in f 0 at the stress and over the terminal glide. The contours were recorded (1) carried on the speech wave, (2) as modulated sine waves. Swedish and American subjects classified (1) both speech and sine-wave contours as either terminally rising or terminally falling (psychophysical judgments), (2)…
