- Class Notes:
- http://classinfo.umn.edu/?SLHS1301W+Fall2016
- Class Description:
- This 4-credit introductory course covers a wide range of interesting topics on spoken language and human communication with no prerequisites. These topics include historical perspectives and current research on speech production, animal communication systems, speech and musical acoustics, speech perception, speech development, cross-language comparisons, techniques used in speech analysis, machine recognition of speech, brain processing of speech information, brain imaging techniques, speech evolution, and implications for language-impaired populations. The trek through the history of speech technology will begin with Kratzenstein, who designed the first speech synthesizer in 1179, and end with an examination of the ways in which current research from disciplines such as physics, biology, psychology, linguistics, speech and hearing science, and so forth contributes to our understanding of the physics and biology of spoken language. Lectures will be supported by computer animations and online videos that show, in slow motion, rapidly changing dynamic events in the articulatory system, the auditory system, and the brain. Hands-on laboratory sessions are led by experienced teaching assistants in the graduate program of the speech-language-hearing sciences. Most course materials, including answers to study guides and practice tests are available online through the WebVista system of the university. After completing this course, students should be able to 1) Analyze and identify basic acoustic features of speech, music, or other sounds. 2) Demonstrate knowledge about the relationship between the physical speech signal, the physiological activities that make the sound (production), and the psychological response to the signal (perception). 3) Demonstrate understanding of the complex nature of speech and language. 4) Show that they understand the basics of the development of speech and language, modern speech technology, and modern techniques of studying human information processing. 5) Work together as a team for lab projects and learn through empirical work.
