Abstract	[Introduction] To speak of “perception in the speech mode” is to imply, of course, that speech and its perception are somehow special. That implication would be readily accepted, I am sure, if my reference were to speech in the broad sense, becasue it is generally understood that language is different from other forms of communication. But here I mean to discuss speech in the narrow sense. My concern is not with the abstract matters of meaning or syntax, but with the very concrete sounds of speech and their raw perception as the phonetic or phonemic segments that we all know as consonants and vowels.
