"The Handbook of Speech Production provides an excellent up-to-date coverage of the planning, acquisition and production mechanisms of phonetic sounds and higher level linguistic units both in normal and disordered speech. It should become a reference book for linguists, psychologists and speech pathologists in years to come." Daniel Recasens, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain
"The Handbook of Speech Production represents a highly valuable work based upon a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art surveys, extending from speech breathing mechanisms to the interaction of 'language factors' with motor processes during speech acquisition." Herrman Ackermann, University of Tuebingen, Germany "This collection is well focused and timely, associating basic structures of language and speech. It's good to see cognitive aspects of speech are represented. Definitely a must for anyone with an interest in speech production modelling." Katherine Morton (PhD), former Research Fellow
The Handbook of Speech Production provides a state-of-the-art survey of the interdisciplinary field of speech production. Twenty-four chapters from leading international researchers, representing a broad range of academic backgrounds including otolaryngology, information sciences, and linguistics, cover key areas of research in this burgeoning area of study. The contributions bring together behavioral, clinical, computational, developmental, and neuropsychological perspectives on speech production with an emphasis on kinematics, control, and planning in production. The work is divided into five sections: The Speech Mechanism, Coordination and Multimodal Speech, Speech Motor Control, Sequencing and Planning, and Language Factors (which includes issues such as understudied languages, language acquisition, and developmental aspects). This structure showcases the broad spectrum of research in speech production and the advances in both research methodology and theoretical modeling. The
Handbook is an ideal resource for both advanced students and researchers interested in exploring cutting-edge research which complements existing work in speech perception and enhances our understanding of how speech works.

About the author
Melissa A. Redford is Professor of Linguistics at University of Oregon, USA, with a broad cognitive sciences background. She received her PhD in Psychology at the University of Texas and completed an NRSA Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computer Science, also at the University of Texas, before joining the faculty at the University of Oregon in 2002. Her research focuses on the development and structure of the speech plan and on the parameters that control rate, rhythm, emphasis, and style changes in spoken language.
