Speech imitation is an ubiquitous phenomenon. Imitation is present in everyday communication situations, but can also be evoked in experimental tasks, such as verbal repetition. It occurs unintentionally and automatically and is assumed to play a major role in language acquisition, social interaction and sound change.
This book presents investigations of various aspects of the speech signal that are imitated in verbal repetition, the factors influencing the degree of imitation, and the neural correlates of speech imitation.
