本文研究了来自Switchboard语料库的语速和f0数据[11]，以调查说话人的实际年龄如何影响他们对对话者的适应程度。在语速方面，我证明，对于速度慢的对话者，年龄较大的人比年轻的人慢得多，但对于速度快的对话者，他们的速度也更快。我认为这些影响是由于老年说话者的初始语速比年轻说话者慢，因此老年说话者证明的适应模式是补偿性的，而不是晚年适应意愿或能力下降的迹象。这一解释得到了这样一个事实的证实，即对f0的适应不受说话人的实际年龄的影响。
This paper examines speech rate and f0 data from the Switchboard corpus [11] to investigate how a speaker’s chronological age affects the extent of their accommodation to their interlocutor. In terms of speech rate, I demonstrate that older speakers slow down less for a slow interlocutor than younger speakers, but they also speed up more for a fast interlocutor. I argue that these effects are due to older speakers’ initial speech rate being slower than younger speakers’, and thus the accommodation pattern attested by old speakers is compensatory, rather than a sign of decreased willingness or ability to accommodate later in life. This explanation is corroborated by the fact that accommodation for f0 is not affected by the chronological age of the speaker.
