Preface
This book had its beginning in a two-day workshop, "Speech Recognition and
Phonology", held at Dokkyo University, Soka, Japan, in December 1993; it was
the seventh Dokkyo International Forum organised by the International Center
of Dokkyo University. The editors express their gratitude to the International
Center, the Faculty of Foreign Languages, the Graduate School of Foreign
Languages and the Department of English of Dokkyo University for having
provided full support for the organization of the Forum.
Among those who further helped us at various stages to be able to organize
the Forum and publish this book we specially mention the following: Professor
Akio Kamio, who kindly encouraged organization of the Forum and who
introduced us to Mouton de Gruyter; Professor Giyoo Hatano, who served as
co-organizer of the Forum with the first editor; the staff of the International
Center, particularly Mr. Hideya Ogoshi; and Kiyoko Yoneyama, Kazutaka
Kurisu and Makiko Komada, students in the Graduate School of of Foreign
Languages at Dokkyo University, who provided unflagging assistance during
the Forum itself. We thank Dr. Vincent van Heuven of Leiden University, the
editor for Mouton de Gruyter's Speech Research series, for extensive advice
and support; Professor Willem Levelt of the Max Planck Institute for
Psycholinguistics for the visiting Stipendium for the first editor which enabled
efficient production of the edited volume; and, above all, Rian Zondervan of
the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics who had sole responsibility for
preparation of the camera-ready typescript of this book.
Last but not least we wish to thank all the researchers, scholars and students
who participated in the Forum and enriched the discussions, making this truly
international meeting a success. Also presented at the Forum, but not
appearing in the present volume, were contributions from Shigeru Kiritani
(Tokyo) concerning the physiology of consonant-vowel articulations in
different languages, and Ovid Tzeng (Taiwan) on learning to read in Chinese,
as well as commentaries by Paul Bertelson (Brussels), Beatrice de Gelder and
Jean Vroomen (Tilburg), Giyoo Hatano, Regine Kolinsky, Haruo Kubozono
and Reiko Mazuka (Duke University). These can all be found, along with the
presentation versions of the papers in this volume, in the Dokkyo International
Review (Annual Report of the Dokkyo University International Center) for
1994.
