我们的人类声道物理模型成功地证明了诸如语音产生的源过滤理论等理论、声道配置和元音质量之间的关系等机制以及共振峰频率估计等现象。早期的模型采用两个方向之一：要么简化，仅显示几个目标主题，要么多样化，更广泛地模拟人类的发音。在这项研究中，我们设计了一个静态混合模型。这种类型的每种模型都会产生一个元音。然而，该模型还更广泛地模拟人类发音器官，包括嘴唇、牙齿和舌头。矢状块被透明板包围，因此从外部可以看到声道的内部。我们还对咬合架进行了着色，以便更容易识别。在测试中，我们确认声道模型可以产生目标元音。这些模型具有巨大的潜力，不仅可以应用于声学和语音学教育，还可以应用于临床环境中语言学习和言语治疗的发音训练。图 1：拟议的人类声道模型的设计和总尺寸。
Our physical models of the human vocal tract successfully demonstrate theories such as the source-filter theory of speech production, mechanisms such as the relationship between vocal-tract configuration and vowel quality, and phenomena such as formant frequency estimation. Earlier models took one of two directions: either simplification, showing only a few target themes, or diversification, simulating human articulation more broadly. In this study, we have designed a static, hybrid model. Each model of this type produces one vowel. However, the model also simulates the human articulators more broadly, including the lips, teeth, and tongue. The sagittal block is enclosed with transparent plates so that the inside of the vocal tract is visible from the outside. We also colored the articulators to make them more easily identified. In testing, we confirmed that the vocal-tract models can produce the target vowel. These models have great potential, with applications not only in acoustics and phonetics education, but also pronunciation training in language learning and speech therapy in the clinical setting.
