En quoi la psycho-acoustique peut-elle aider à approfondir la connaissance de la communication linguistique ?

الملخص EN

Quoting about a hundred publications, the author makes a general synthesis of the growing importance of psychoacoustics for a deepened knowledge of linguistic communication.

He approaches more accurately the problem of the characterisation and the delimitation of the phoneme, through its phonological and phonetic al aspects, and concludes that its definitions are far from gaining unanimous approval, Owing to the lack of an adequate simulation of auditory perception.

Such simulation, which has not yet been carried out, would be the only way to make really possible the most advanced applications of phonetics : intelligibility of human speech by machines.
