Rezensionen

"The Handbook includes a rich and comprehensive set ofpapers providing a state-of-the-art view of current research onspeech perception. David Pisoni and Robert Remez have done aremarkable job in pulling together this broad and important rangeof topics contributed by many of the leading researchers in thefield. The chapters are well-written, interesting, and provocative.Taken together, The Handbook of Speech Perception providesan exciting, stimulating, and informative set of readings that is amust-read for anyone interested in learning about this importantfield of research."
Sheila E. Blumstein, Brown University

"This is a most welcome book. For the expert who is wellaware of the complexity of the issues and methods in

speechperception, this handbook is a godsend for its thoroughness. Itcovers the field from a to z including, most notably, extendedexamination of the challenges that speech variability presents tothe listener and that special listeners face. For the student orresearcher from outside the field, the handbook is a livelyintroduction to the extraordinary progress that the study of speechperception has enjoyed over the last few decades."
Gary Dell, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

"This real treasury marks the maturity of the field ofspeech perception, making the whole body of work widely availablein one volume as never before. The core of experimental studies inyoung adults that defined the field 30 years ago was based inphonology, acoustic phonetics, perception psychology, andphysiology. The editors are to be congratulated on updating theseroots, while reflecting the kaleidoscopic extension into studieswith infants, the elderly, and distinct patient groups, andconsolidating the link to neuroscience."
Mark Haggard, MRC, Cambridge, UK

"This is a necessary volume. At a time when advances inour understanding of speech perception are as likely to come fromfunctional imaging techniques, Optimality Theory, or the study ofspeech perception mediated by cochlear implants, researchers need asingle volume that captures the state of inquiry across thespectrum of speech research. Pisoni and Remez have assembled awonderful resource."
David W. Gow, Jr., The Massachusetts General Hospital

"With the addition of this volume to the Blackwell seriesof handbooks in linguistics, the study of speech perception takesits rightful place as an independent and mature subdiscipline oflinguistics. Covering a wide range of topics, from the encoding andneural representation of speech to the recognition of linguisticand paralinguistic properties by a variety of listener populations,this volume both surveys the current landscape of speech perceptionresearch and sets an agenda for the future development of thefield."
Ann Bradlow, Northwestern University

"A detailed collection of forward-thinking seminalarticles...enables both the student and researcher to understandthe most complicated aspects of the subject... If you have topurchase just one core text on speech perception- definitely buythis! ... an exciting, stimulating and informative collection ofreadings available as a single volume that is excellent value formoney. The editors have assembled a wonderful resource."
