有时人们认为美式英语 CV 音节中摩擦音的识别主要取决于语音的噪声（即非语音）部分的特征。第二种可能性是，声音部分的特征（之前被证明是感知其他辅音的线索）对于摩擦音很重要。通过将一个口语摩擦元音音节的噪音与另一个音节的浊音部分相结合来测试这些替代方案。结果表明，摩擦音 /s/ 和 /∫/ 的重要提示是由噪音给出的，但 /f/ 和 /θ/ 的区分主要是根据音节的语音部分中包含的提示来完成的。对于这些声音的浊音对应物也获得了类似的结果。
It has sometimes been assumed that the identification of the fricatives of American English in CV syllables depends primarily on the characteristics of the noise (i.e., nonvocalic) portion of the speech sound. A second possibility is that characteristics of the vocalic portion—previously shown to be cues for the perception of other consonants—are important for the fricatives. These alternatives were tested by combining the noise from one spoken fricative-vowel syllable with the voiced portion of another. Results indicate that the important cues for the fricatives /s/ and /∫/ are given by the noise but that the differentiation of /f/ and /θ/ is accomplished primarily on the basis of cues contained in the vocalic part of the syllable. Similar results were obtained for the voiced counterparts of these sounds.
