When it comes to speech communication, the speaker and the listener must undergo psychological processes before utterances are actually produced by the speaker and comprehended by the listener.

Such a speech plan is then executed by speech organs or articulators that generate audible speech signals. Listeners then need to recognize words out of the continuous speech signal (decoding of speech production), which must map onto words that are stored in the listener's mental lexicon. This introductory course covers the aforementioned psychological processes with special reference to speech production and speech comprehension in English.
