Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help all who wish to improve their understanding and skill in communicating with others. But, more specifically, it is designed for college students who are taking an introductory speech communication course to learn about communication principles, public speaking, and interpersonal and group communication. With this audience in mind, I have drawn on over twenty years of my experience working with students and colleagues, both as a teach and as the director of a beginning course in speech communication, to create a book that will help students develop practical skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In communication acoustics, the communication channel consists of a sound source, a channel (acoustic and/or electric) and finally the receiver: the human auditory system, a complex and intricate system that shapes the way sound is heard. Thus, when developing techniques in communication acoustics, such as in speech, audio and aided hearing, it is important to understand the time–frequency–space resolution of hearing. This book facilitates the reader’s understanding and development of speech and audio techniques based on our knowledge of the auditory perceptual mechanisms by introducing the physical, signal-processing and psychophysical background to communication acoustics. It then provides a detailed explanation of sound technologies where a human listener is involved, including audio and speech techniques, sound quality measurement, hearing aids and audiology. Key features: Explains perceptually-based audio: the authors take a detailed but accessible engineering perspective on sound and hearing with a focus on the human place in the audio communications signal chain, from psychoacoustics and audiology to optimizing digital signal processing for human listening. Presents a wide overview of speech, from the human production of speech sounds and basics of phonetics to major speech technologies, recognition and synthesis of speech and methods for speech quality evaluation. Includes MATLAB examples that serve as an excellent basis for the reader’s own investigations into communication acoustics interaction schemes which intuitively combine touch, vision and voice for lifelike interactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Introduction to Speech Science" is tailor made for the undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology student. It provides a basic, student-friendly introduction to Speech and Hearing Science, alleviating frustration on the parts of both students and instructors who have been forced to use graduate-level texts in the past. The authors have many years of experience teaching undergraduate courses in Speech Science, and their book is written in simple, easy to understand language. It features extensive hints to students to reinforce concepts and assist science-shy students. At the end of each chapter, there are questions for students' review of the material. The book also includes recent references for further information, and a glossary of terms. For undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology students, or those with an interest in this field.

Book excerpt: Based on an introductory course on natural-language semantics, this book provides an introduction to type-logical grammar and the range of linguistic phenomena that can be handled in categorial grammar. It also contains a great deal of original work on categorial grammar and its application to natural-language semantics. The author chose the type-logical categorial grammar as his grammatical basis because of its broad syntactic coverage and its strong linkage of syntax and semantics. Although its basic orientation is linguistic, the book should also be of interest to logicians and computer scientists seeking connections between logical systems and natural language. The book, which stepwise develops successively more powerful logical and grammatical systems, covers an unusually broad range of material. Topics covered include higher-order logic, applicative categorial grammar, the Lambek calculus, coordination and unbounded dependencies, quantifiers and scope, plurals, pronouns and dependency, modal logic, intensionality, and tense and aspect. The book contains more mathematical development than is usually found in texts on natural language; an appendix includes the basic mathematical concepts used throughout the book.
