Routledge Phonological Encoding and Monitoring in Speech

Explore the latest research on speech formulation and control with this academic text from Routledge. This book provides a detailed look at how normal speech production works and how language disorders impact communication. By examining the mechanisms behind speaking, the text offers deep insights into conditions such as stuttering, aphasia, and verbal dyspraxia. The content focuses on the theoretical claim that these disorders stem from two main areas: deficits within the language production system and the way this system interacts with error-monitoring processes. Readers will gain a better understanding of phonological encoding, which involves the construction of phonetic plans for utterances, as well as the role of verbal self-monitoring in checking for correctness. This resource is designed for those studying the cognitive processes behind speech and the biological and psychological factors involved in language disorders.
