The second edition features revisions of chapters original to the first edition as well as newly commissioned essays on topics including the relation between speech perception and reading, features in speech perception and lexical access, perceptual identification of individual talkers, and perceptual learning of accented speech. Each chapter provides an informed and critical survey, including a summary of current research and debate, clear examples and research findings, and discussion of anticipated advances and potential research directions. Offering critical introductions to recent research literature and leading field developments, The Handbook of Speech Perception, Second Edition, provides readers with a clear understanding of the aims, methods, challenges, and prospects for advances in the field.
