A Unified Theoretical Bayesian Model of Speech Communication

Based on a review of models and theories in speech communication, this paper proposes an original Bayesian framework able to express each of them in a unified way. This framework allows to selectively incorporate motor processes in perception or auditory representations in production, thus implementing components of a perceptuo-motor link in speech communication processes. This provides a basis for future computational works on the joint study of perception, production and their coupling in speech communication.
