Abstract
Nearly four decades of research in speech perception have failed to untangle the relation of sound and phone. Is this because speech sound discrimination is so complex or unique that it resists study? Or is it because the right questions have not been asked? This article reviews some of the more recent speech research at the Pavlov Institute in Leningrad which suggests an affirmative answer to the second question. This interesting possibility derives from an unique modulation-analyzing model of speech perception. Wider consideration of the modulation approach might provide some challenging alternatives to current, spectrum-oriented models for solving the “invariance” problem. Following a general introduction, the model is considered in the context of representative experiments and results.
