The book's attempt to draw together a wide range of research with an eye to the issues of modularity and the motor theory is not only successful but informative and scholarly as well .... [the editors] have honored Liberman well with the contributions and ideas in this volume.
—Contemporary Psychology
This volume derives from a conference in 1988 that brought together the divergent views of the leading figures in the field and, as such, is an excellent report on the state of the art.
—Studies in Second Language Acquisition
This is an important contribution to the speech literature and should be required reading for all graduate students (as well as established speech researchers) interested in perceptual issues.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A compilation of the proceedings of a conference held to honor Alvin M. Liberman for his outstanding contributions to research in speech perception, this volume deals with two closely related and controversial proposals for which Liberman and his colleagues at Haskins Laboratories have argued forcefully over the past 35 years. The first is that articulatory gestures are the units not only of speech production but also of speech perception; the second is that speech production and perception are not cognitive processes, but rather functions of a special mechanism. This book explores the implications of these proposals not only for speech production and speech perception, but for the neurophysiology of language, language acquisition, higher-level linguistic processing, the visual perception of phonetic gestures, the production and perception of sign language, the reading process, and learning to read. The contributors to this volume include linguists, psycholinguists, speech scientists, neurophysiologists, and ethologists. Liberman himself responds in the final chapter. First Published in 1990.
