本文根据作者的语音识别的听觉-知觉理论，提出并讨论了将元音的声学波形与感知的元音类别联系起来的主要问题。共振峰比理论的一个简短的历史回顾，以及已提出的元音描述的频率尺度的分析。结果表明，美国英语的单元音元音的声音可以表示为集群在感知的目标区域内的一个三维的语音感知空间（APS），它表明，这些目标区域的初步版本分离的语料库元音的美国英语与93%的准确性。此外，它表明，美国英语的nonretroflex元音落在一个狭窄的平板内的APS，与扩展元音靠近这个平板的前面和后面附近的圆元音。卷舌元音落在元音板后面的一个明显的区域。在APS的元音的描述被证明是相关的，与他们的描述方面的尺寸的清晰度和音色。此外，与说话者规范化，协同发音效果，分割，音高，换位，和双元音化的问题进行了讨论。
The major issues in relating acoustic waveforms of spoken vowels to perceived vowel categories are presented and discussed in terms of the author's auditory-perceptual theory of phonetic recognition. A brief historical review of formant-ratio theory is presented, as well as an analysis of frequency scales that have been proposed for description of the vowel. It is illustrated that the monophthongal vowel sounds of American English can be represented as clustered in perceptual target zones within a three-dimensional auditory-perceptual space (APS), and it is shown that preliminary versions of these target zones segregate a corpus of vowels of American English with 93% accuracy. Furthermore, it is shown that the nonretroflex vowels of American English fall within a narrow slab within the APS, with spread vowels near the front of this slab and rounded vowels near the back. Retroflex vowels fall in a distinct region behind the vowel slab. Descriptions of the vowels within the APS are shown to be correlated with their descriptions in terms of dimensions of articulation and timbre. Additionally, issues related to talker normalization, coarticulation effects, segmentation, pitch, transposition, and diphthongization are discussed.
