语音开始时间（VOT）随发音位置的不同而变化。对于任何给定的发音位置，一种语言与另一种语言之间都存在差异。使用来自18种语言的多个使用者的数据，所有这些数据都以相同的方式记录和分析，我们显示大多数？但并非所有的语言内发音变化都可以用普遍适用的语音规则来描述（尽管这些规则的生理基础并不完全清楚）。语言之间的差异也在很大程度上（但不是完全）可以预测，假设语言选择三种可能性中的一种来实现无音停顿的渴望程度。然而，有些语言的vot与通常观察到的值明显不同。语法的语音输出必须包含特定于语言的组件来解释这些结果。(C) 1999学术出版社。
Voice onset time (VOT) is known to vary with place of articulation. For any given place of articulation there are differences from one language to another. Using data from multiple speakers of 18 languages, all of which were recorded and analyzed in the same way, we show that most? but not all, of the within language place of articulation variation can be described by universally applicable phonetic rules (although the physiological bases for these rules are not entirely clear). The between language variation is also largely (but not entirely) predictable by assuming that languages choose one of the three possibilities for the degree of aspiration of voiceless stops. Some languages, however, have VOTs that are markedly different from the generally observed values. The phonetic output of a grammar has to contain language specific components to account for these results. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
