SLHS 1301W The Physics and Biology of Spoken Language

Grading basis/credits:   4 credit(s)

Description:  Introduction to the physics and biology of spoken language; the talker's production of sounds and words; transmission of sound; the listener's perception of what was heard; and computer analysis and synthesis of speech. Lectures will be supported by computer animations that show, in slow motion, rapidly changing dynamic events in acoustics, by on-line computer analysis of speech, and by laboratory sessions. Objectives: 1) Provide students who have a limited physics and biology background with an introduction to the physics and biology of spoken language, a field that is not only interesting, but of considerable social importance because of the dominant role that speech, language, and hearing play in society; and 2) Introduce students to recent technological advances associated with spoken language such as digital signal processing systems and speech recognition techniques. The trek through history will begin with Kratzenstein, who designed the first speech synthesizer in 1179, and end with an examination of the ways in which current research from disciplines such as physics, biology, psychology, linguistics, speech and hearing science, and so forth contributes to our understanding of the physics and biology of spoken language.

SLHS 1401 Communication Differences and Disorders

Grading basis/credits:   3 credit(s)

Equivalencies:   Credit will not be granted if credit has been received for: SLHS 3401

Description:  Human communication is a complex interpersonal process that involves speech, language, and hearing. These three aspects of communication are made up of neurological, cognitive, sensory, anatomical, and physiological components, which come together and develop within social contexts. Functional communication skills are necessary to successfully participate in all aspects of society and any breakdown in speech, language or hearing will have an impact on one's daily life-at home, school, work, and/or community settings. In order to determine if a communication disorder exists, we need to have a clear understanding of what constitutes "normal" communication. The definition of what is normal or acceptable speech, language, and hearing behavior may vary according to age, gender, language or dialectal background, and culture. Thus, these factors must be considered when identifying and treating communication disorders. This course will survey a range of communication disorders affecting children and adults, and will explore the origin, assessment, and treatment of these disorders within the context of normal human variation. Reference to the professional fields of speech-language pathology and audiology will be given throughout the semester.
