Note that because of the way that different authors approach the topics, there is usually overlapping treatment with respect to the division used in this course. The same holds between the divisions used in the different books. Often, relevant information is scattered in bits and pieces throughout other discussions.
Thus Borden, Harris & Raphael, in their chapter Speech Production II : the finished products, combine discussion of anatomy and physiology with discussion of speech acoustics. Rather than try to tease out the page-by-page focus, I've simply listed the whole section as relevant to several topics. As another example, additional information on the phonetics of consonants in Clark and Yallop can be found in chapters 3, 6 and 7, as well as in the cited section of chapter 2; here I have not tried to list the particular page references.

None of the textbooks has anything much to say about speech technology. You
can find some useful reviews in an on-line Survey
of the State of the Art in Human Language Technology. You may also benefit
from looking at the hypertext version of a Handbook
on Standards and Resources for Spoken Language Systems, especially the section
on system
design. However, there will not be anything on the final exam on the
topic of speech technology, and this year (1998) there will also not be time
for a lecture on the subject.
