This book analyses and challenges the metatheoretical framework which supports information-processing models of human speech perception. The first part consists of a review of speech perception research in the information-processing paradigm, an overview of the cognitivist philosophy from which this approach takes its justification, and an introduction to some relevant themes of phenomenological philosophy. The second half uses the phenomenological insights discussed to demonstrate some inadequacies of cognitivism, to show how these inadequacies underlie problems with the information-processing theory, and suggests an alternative framework with significant change of focus.
