      Objectives of general skills

      • Have a complete understanding. Analyse any communicative situation (real or depicted) in reference to the theoretical and methodological frameworks within various scientific approaches to language.
        • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge and methodological approaches to understand and explain the normal/atypical/pathological functioning of individuals, groups or organisations, using any form of language.
        • Analyse and model a communicative situation (individually or collectively) by critically selecting isolated theories and suitable methodological approaches.
      • Communicate effectively. Communicate and exchange information in a structured and adapted way to the intended purpose and relevant public.
        • Present and structure data in a clear, precise, neutral, and non-oriented way.
        • Present (orally and in writing) the results of an intervention (study, analysis, investigation, etc.) to adequately inform a target audience.
      • Have a willingness to keep learning. Assess and pursue professional and personal development.
        • Monitor knowledge and methodological approaches in order to evolve their thinking and practice.
      • Adopt a scientific approach. Master the scientific approaches in language sciences.
        • Collect data and thoroughly analyse it qualitatively and quantitatively.
        • Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
      • Adopt a specialist approach to speech sciences. Master the concepts, techniques, methods, and devices specific to speech sciences so that they can be used in research practice.
        • Master basic speech signal analysis techniques.
        • Understand the basic concepts of phonetics.

      UE's Learning outcomes

      The student will have acquired an overview of the diverse quantitative treatments applicable to the signals of speech. He will be capable of selecting the quantitative treatments the best adapted to a type of objectives and a type of signals beforehand defined; to criticize and estimate choices operated within the framework of a concrete application in the field of the signal processing, by identifying the biases or the artefacts. He will be capable of putting into practice its new knowledge around some of these quantitative procedures of signal processing of speech. He will have acquired a good knowledge of the specific characteristics of the signal of speech and an overview of techniques and technologies associated with the signal processing : analysis, coding and compression, synthesis and recognition. He will be able to approach works or training courses specialized in one of these domains.

      UE Content

      Notions of acoustics and phonetics for the speech signal processing. Digital representations of the acoustic signals. Principles of the digital coding. Analysis of Fourier of sampled and quantified signals.
