Automatic morphological decomposition of written words is possible. However, this section does not consider the added complication of deriving a pronunciation.
Jurafsky & Martin – Section 3.1 – English Morphology
In speech technology for English, little or no use is made of morphology. But for other languages, it is essential.
Taylor – Chapter 4 – Text Processing
Complementary to Jurafsky & Martin, Section 8.1.
Jurafsky & Martin – Chapter 2 – Regular Expressions and Automata

Ladefoged (Elements) – Chapter 11 – Digital filters and LPC analysis
A brave attempt to use ‘long hand’ to spell out how LPC analysis works, but not a recommended reading.

An attempt to explain Fourier analysis. Although chapters 1-9 are great, I actually do not recommend chapter 10.
This is the new version. Still under construction.
