Abstract
ABSTRACT Hearing speech in a particular voice is a common experience in spoken linguistic communication. Nevertheless, the nature and role(s) of that experience are relatively under-theorized in philosophy. What can we learn about auditory experiences of listening to speech in a voice from illusions? In this paper I discuss two illusions and two special effects in speech sound and voice perception: (1) the temporal induction illusion in speech, (2) the phantom words illusion, (3) the McGurk effect, and (4) the audiovisual experience of the voice-over translation. The first two phenomena support widely accepted claims of top-down influences in speech perception. The latter two illustrate the nature and scope of multimodal integration in speech and voice perception. My discussion of the voice-over translation technique and the experiences it may give rise to will expand the scope of the phenomena that are typically discussed in this area.
