在自发说话时，the的发音通常为thuh，加上略读的弱读元音（与about的第一个音节押韵）。但有时它被读成带非略读元音的thy（与see押韵）。在大量的自发英语会话语料库中，人们发现说话者使用它们来表示立即暂停讲话，以处理生产中的问题。在语料库中，81%的“they”出现后会出现言语暂停，而在匹配的“thuh”样本中，只有7%的“thuh”出现后会出现言语暂停。在他们之后，人们处理的问题是在许多生产层面，包括发音，单词检索和信息选择，但大多数是在以下名义。(C) 1997爱思唯尔科学有限公司
In spontaneous speaking, the is normally pronounced as thuh, with the reduced vowel schwa (rhyming with the first syllable of about). But it is sometimes pronounced as thiy with a nonreduced vowel (rhyming with see). In a large corpus of spontaneous English conversation, speakers were found to use thiy: to signal an immediate suspension of speech to deal with a problem in production. Fully 81% of the instances of thiy in the corpus were followed by a suspension of speech, whereas only 7% of a matched sample of thuhs were followed by such suspensions. The problems people dealt with after thiy were at many levels of production, including articulation, word retrieval, and choice of message, but most were in the following nominal.
