Speech perception is a dynamic area of study that encompasses a wide variety of disciplines, including cognitive neuroscience, phonetics, linguistics, physiology and biophysics, auditory and speech science, and experimental psychology. The Handbook of Speech Perception, Second Edition, is a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of technical and theoretical developments in perceptual research on human speech. Offering a variety of perspectives on the perception of spoken language, this volume brings together original essays by leading researchers on the major issues and most recent findings in the field. The second edition features revisions of chapters original to the first edition as well as newly commissioned essays on topics including the relation between speech perception and reading, features in speech perception and lexical access, perceptual identification of individual talkers, and perceptual learning of accented speech. Each chapter provides an informed and critical survey, including a summary of current research and debate, clear examples and research findings, and discussion of anticipated advances and potential research directions. Offering critical introductions to recent research literature and leading field developments, The Handbook of Speech Perception, Second Edition, provides readers with a clear understanding of the aims, methods, challenges, and prospects for advances in the field. This handbook is ideal for both specialists and non-specialists throughout the research community looking for a comprehensive view of the latest technical and theoretical accomplishments in the field as well as those interested in the development of multidisciplinary research on speech perception.
