Speech Intelligibility

3 Hours

An overview of the main empirical findings on talker-, listener-, and signal-related factors that shape speech intelligibility, the degree to which spoken language can be comprehended. Explores how signal-related (physical), peripheral (auditory-perceptual), and system-related (mental) factors condition variation in both the production and perception of intelligible speech. Also examines how variation in intelligibility conditions different levels of spoken language processing and different tasks that the listener is performing during spoken language comprehension. Linguistics 350 (Topic: Speech Intelligibility) and 350 (Topic 11) may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
