A method and apparatus for encoding speech for communication to a decoder for reproduction of the speech where the speech signal is classified into steady state voiced (harmonic), stationary unvoiced, and "transitory" or "transition" speech, and a particular type of coding scheme is used for each class. Harmonic coding is used for steady state voiced speech, "noise-like" coding is used for stationary unvoiced speech, and a special coding mode is used for transition speech, designed to capture the location, the structure, and the strength of the local time events that characterize the transition portions of the speech. The compression schemes can be applied to the speech signal or to the LP residual signal.
