Speech perception

The processing of linguistic signals through which continuous sound is recognised as segments, words and meanings.

Explanation

The processing of linguistic signals through which continuous sound is recognised as segments, words and meanings. Shows perception as active pattern formation: hearing does not receive finished words but completes, categorises and predicts.

Example

An unclear sound is heard as different words depending on the sentence context.

Counterexample

A mere label without the described formal, cultural or conceptual movement.

Distinction

Distinguish from Kategoriale Wahrnehmung; the neighbour remains connected as a crossway.

Effect on thought and perception

Shows perception as active pattern formation: hearing does not receive finished words but completes, categorises and predicts.

Resonance

Shows perception as active pattern formation: hearing does not receive finished words but completes, categorises and predicts.
