Summary

Cognitive Models of Speech Processingpresents extensive reviews of current thinking on psycholinguistic and computational topics in speech recognition and natural-language processing, along with a substantial body of new experimental data and computational simulations. Topics range from lexical access and the recognition of words in continuous speech to syntactic processing and the relationship between syntactic and intonational structure. A Bradford Book. ACL-MIT Press Series in Natural Language Processing
