SPH301: The Acoustics of Speech |
This unit commences with an introduction to general acoustics, focusing particularly on the phenomenon of resonance. This is followed by an examination of the Acoustic Theory of Speech Production, which describes the interaction between vocal sound sources and the resonant or filtering effects of different vocal articulations. The unit examines the acoustics of vowels and consonants, voice quality and prosody (intonation and stress). The unit combines lectures with practical laboratory exercises.
