沼泽麻雀的歌声是一串2秒的. apprx。10个相同的音节，每个音节由2-5个不同的音符组成。自然发生的音节是高度多态的。音节模式的发展受到模仿的强烈影响。对452首歌曲的分析表明，无论是简单的还是复杂的，所有的音节都是由同一种普遍的音符类型集合组成的，包括6个基本类别。两个人口进行了深入研究，相隔1000公里，不同的注意到每个音节的数量和一个音节内的注意类型的顺序。看来，可以参照这些特征来定义沼泽麻雀的歌曲方言。沼泽麻雀学习鸣叫的过程包括从有限的类型集合中选择特定数量、时间和顺序的音符。虽然在某种程度上选择类型内的音符变体是可能的，但沼泽麻雀音符类型的主要类别的结构在很大程度上是遗传注定的。
A swamp sparrow song is a 2-s string of .apprx. 10 identical syllables, each made up of 2-5 distinct notes. Naturally-occurring syllables are highly polymorphic. The development of syllable patterning is strongly influenced by imitation. Analysis of 452 songs indicates that, whether simple or complex, all syllables were assembled from the same species-universal set of note types, consisting of 6 basic categories. Two populations studied intensively, 1000 km apart, differed in the number of notes per syllable and the ordering of note types within a syllable. It appears that song dialects can be defined in the swamp sparrow by reference to these features. The process of song learning in the swamp sparrow consists of the selection of a particular number, timing and sequence of notes from a limited set of types. While some degree of selection of within-type note variants is possible, the structure of the major categories of swamp sparrow note types is in large degree genetically preordained.
