十名受试者识别出人类说话者说的15个丹麦语,它们的基本频率(F0)过程不同,要么是陈述性的,要么是非最终的,要么是疑问性的(强迫选择)。回答与F0密切相关:最陡峭的语调轮廓被认为是陈述性的,最小的语调轮廓是疑问语调,而位于连续体中间的语调轮廓是非期末语调。F0过程中几个相互依赖的参数可以解释这一结果,然而,最重要的两个参数分别是发音中最后一个重读音节和紧随其后的非重读音节的水平。在随后的实验中,七名受试者将相同的话语识别为陈述性的或非陈述性的。大多数(以前的)非终结句现在被贴上了非陈述性的标签,而不是平均分布在陈述性和非陈述性类别中。当同一发音的一个子集被多重化时,识别几乎随着音节数目的减少而逐渐恶化,但只有轻微的恶化,直到只剩下第一重音组;而从开始切断音节几乎不会影响识别。
Ten subjects identified 15 Danish utterances by a human speaker, differing only in their fundamental frequency (F0) course, as being either declarative, nonfinal, or interrogative (forced choice). Responses are closely correlated with F0: the most steeply falling intonation contours are identified as being declarative, the least falling ones as being interrogative, and contours in the middle of the continuum as being nonfinal. Several mutually interdependent parameters in the F0 course may account for the results, the two most powerful one, however, being the levels of the last stressed and the succeeding unstressed syllable, respectively, in the utterance. In a subsequent experiment, seven subjects identified the same utterances as being either declarative or nondeclarative. The majority of the (formerly) nonfinal sentences were now labeled nondeclarative, rather than being equally distributed among the declarative and nondeclarative categories. When a subset of the same utterances were multilated, identification deteriorated almost progressively with the number of syllables being cut away from the end of the utterance, but only slightly so until nothing but the first stress group remained; whereas, syllables cut away from the beginning hardly affected identification at all.
