当指定发音结构的配置或状态的参数通过一系列值进行操作时，描述结果声音的一些声学参数通常以非单调的方式变化。特别是，在发音参数的某些范围内，声学参数的变化很小，而在其他范围内，声学参数对发音的变化更敏感。发音-声学关系是量子化的，因为随着发音参数在一定范围内变化，声学模式会从一种状态变化到另一种状态。类似的关系也存在于测量类似语音的声音的听觉反应的参数和指定声音的声学维度的参数之间。本文列举了一些这类声-发音关系或听-声关系的例子。这表明，这些声学、听觉和发音参数之间的这种数量关系的趋势是形成用于表明语言差异的声学和发音属性清单的主要因素。
When a parameter specifying the configuration or state of an articulatory structure is manipulated through a range of values, some acoustic parameter describing the resulting sound often changes in a non-monotonic fashion. In particular, there appear to be ranges of the articulatory parameter for which there is very little change in the acoustic parameter and other ranges where the acoustic parameter is more sensitive to changes in articulation. The articulatory-acoustic relations are quantal in the sense that the acoustic patterns shows a change from one state to another as the articulatory parameter is varied through a range of values. Similar kinds of relations are observed between parameters that give a measure of the auditory response to a speechlike sound and parameters that specify some acoustic dimension of the sound. In this paper a number of examples of these types of acoustic-articulatory or auditory-acoustic relations are given. It is suggested that this tendency for quantal relations among these acoustic, auditory, and articulatory parameters is a principal factor shaping the inventory of acoustic and articulatory attributes that are used to signal distinctions in language.
