Course Introduction
Speech Science Exam Review
Speech Science explores the physiological, acoustic, and perceptual aspects of spoken communication. This course examines the anatomy and function of the speech production system, the physics of sound as it relates to speech, and the processes by which humans perceive and process spoken language. Students will study topics such as respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonance, as well as the acoustic properties of speech sounds and the technological tools used to analyze speech. By combining theoretical principles with practical applications, the course provides foundational knowledge for fields such as linguistics, communication disorders, and speech-language pathology.
