In this paper, we describe domain-general auditory processes that we believe are prerequisite to the linguistic analysis of speech. We discuss biological evidence for these processes and how they might relate to processes that are specific to human speech and language. We begin with a brief review of (i) the anatomy of the auditory system and (ii) the essential properties of speech sounds. Section 4 describes the general auditory mechanisms that we believe are applied to all communication sounds, and how functional neuroimaging is being used to map the brain networks associated with domain-general auditory processing. Section 5 discusses recent neuroimaging studies that explore where such general processes give way to those that are specific to human speech and language.
在本文中，我们描述了一些通用的听觉过程，我们认为这些过程是对言语进行语言分析的先决条件。我们讨论了这些过程的生物学证据，以及它们与人类言语和语言特有的过程可能存在的关联。我们首先简要回顾一下：（i）听觉系统的解剖结构，以及（ii）语音的基本特性。第4节描述了我们认为适用于所有交流声音的通用听觉机制，以及功能神经成像如何被用于绘制与通用听觉处理相关的脑网络。第5节讨论了最近的神经成像研究，这些研究探索了这些通用过程在何处让位于人类言语和语言特有的过程。
