Speech reception
The voice reception is a research field of psycholinguistics .
Speech reception is about how listeners derive speech signals and meanings from the sound waves they perceive. The following three main tasks arise:
- Segmentation - finding the meaningful units ( sounds , morphemes , syllables , sentences , etc.) in the continuous flow of speech
- Variability - every speaker sounds different, uses different accents, tone of voice, dialect coloring, etc.
- Coarticulation - depending on the context, the same phonemes are physically different, but must be perceived as the same.
Speech reception is a basic requirement for understanding language and can be disturbed in many ways.
According to Lewandowski (1985), speech reception in linguistics is also understood in a broader sense for "speech recognition, speech perception and language understanding as a uniform process".
