Chapters in the first part of the book cover all the essential speech processing techniques for building robust, automatic speech recognition systems: the representation for speech signals and the methods for speech-features extraction, acoustic and language modeling, efficient algorithms for searching the hypothesis space, and multimodal approaches to speech recognition. The last part of the book is devoted to other speech processing applications that can use the information from automatic speech recognition for speaker identification and tracking, for prosody modeling in emotion-detection systems and in other speech processing applications that are able to operate in real-world environments, like mobile communication services and smart homes.

The human voice does not deceive. The one who is speaking is inevitably revealed by the singular sound of her voice, no matter "what" she says. We take this fact for granted—for example, every time someone asks, over the telephone, "Who is speaking?" and receives as a reply the familiar utterance, "It's me." Starting from the given uniqueness of every voice, Cavarero rereads the history of philosophy through its peculiar evasion of this embodied uniqueness. She shows how this history—along with the fields it comprehends, such as linguistics, musicology, political theory, and studies in orality—might be grasped as the "devocalization of Logos," as the invariable privileging of semantike over phone, mind over body. Female figures—from the Sirens to the Muses, from Echo to opera singers—provide a crucial counterhistory, one in which the embodied voice triumphs over the immaterial semantic. Reconstructing this counterhistory, Cavarero proposes a "politics of the voice" wherein the ancient bond between Logos and politics is reconfigured, and wherein what matters is not the communicative content of a given discourse, but rather who is speaking.

This innovative and interdisciplinary book on style shifting in Japanese brings together a wide range of perspectives and methodologies-including discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, and functional linguistics-to look at a variety of types of style shifting in both spoken and written Japanese discourse. Though diverse in approach, the contributions all reflect the belief that language use is inextricably linked to both context and language structure in mutually constitutive relationships. Topics covered include shifting between "polite" and "plain" styles, the emergence of a "semi-polite" style, speakers' strategic use of gendered styles or regional dialects, shifting between different deictic expressions, and prosodic shifting. This careful and detailed examination advances our understanding of the complex phenomenon of style shifting not only in Japanese, but also more generally, and will be of interest to researchers and students in fields such as linguistics, linguistic anthropology, communication studies, and second language acquisition and teaching.

Une perspective nouvelle dans l'analyse du cinéma : en privilégiant l'entrée sonore, l'auteur montre comment la propagation des échos à travers l'espace filmique perturbe la réception spectatorielle des films, même des plus classiques. Aucun son n'est jamais à l'image de quelque chose, mais toujours en marge d'une image dont il n'offre que des brouillons imparfaits. Dans le film, le sonore insinue sous le visible les évocations multiples auxquelles il fait écho. En organisant la déliaison du son et de l'image, le cinéma met en concurrence le regard, attentif au contour des figures, et l'écoute, sensible à leur devenir. Relançant une approche phénoménologique de la perception, ce livre propose une perspective nouvelle sur le rôle de l'écoute dans la réception d'un film. Le spectateur se trouve placé au centre d'une réflexion cinématographique dont l'orientation privilégie désormais, avec l'entrée sonore, les résonances que les bruits et les voix propagent dans l'espace filmique et la perturbation qu'ils provoquent dans l'entente des films les plus classiques. Ce faisant, l'écoute s'attache à déplier, à travers l'entretien syncopé du son et de l'image, le champ des formes éphémères que chaque son fait surgir.
