"Mathematical Models of Spoken Language" presents the motivations for,
intuitions behind, and basic mathematical models of natural spoken language
communication. A comprehensive overview is given of all aspects of the problem
from the physics of speech production through the hierarchy of linguistic
structure and ending with some observations on language and mind.The author
comprehensively explores the argument that these modern technologies are
actually the most extensive compilations of linguistic knowledge
available.Throughout the book, the emphasis is on placing all the material in a
mathematically coherent and computationally tractable framework that captures
linguistic structure.
It presents material that appears nowhere else and gives a unification of
formalisms and perspectives used by
