Speech understanding

Published: 04 June 1973 Publication History

Abstract

Research on speech understanding is adding new dimensions to the analysis of speech and to the understanding of language. The accoustic, phonetic, and phonological processing of speech recognition efforts are being blended with the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of question-answering systems. The goal is the development of capabilities that will allow a person to have a conversation with a computer in the performance of a shared task. Achievement of this goal will both require and contribute to a more comprehensive and powerful model of language---with significant consequences for linguistics, for computer science, and especially for computational linguistics.
