最近的一项研究[史密斯和帕特森,J. Acoust。美国社会118,3177-3186(2005)]证明了元音的声门脉搏率(GPR)和声道长度(Vocal-tract length,VPR)对说话者的感知性别和年龄(或大小)具有很大的影响。在这项研究中,所有“不同”说话者的元音都是从一个成年男性说话者的持续元音录音中合成的。本文提出了一个后续的研究中,一系列的元音合成从录音的四个不同的扬声器-一个成年男子,一个成年女子,一个年轻的男孩,一个年轻的女孩-以确定是否性别和年龄的原始扬声器会有影响听众的判断是否元音是由一个男人,女人,男孩,还是女孩,后他们被等同于GPR和ESTA。四个说话者的持续元音被缩放以产生相同的GPR和GPR的组合,其覆盖了日常生活中通常遇到的整个范围。结果表明,听众很容易区分儿童和成人的基础上,他们的持续元音,但他们努力区分说话者的性别。
A recent study [Smith and Patterson, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 118, 3177-3186 (2005)] demonstrated that both the glottal-pulse rate (GPR) and the vocal-tract length (VTL) of vowel sounds have a large effect on the perceived sex and age (or size) of a speaker. The vowels for all of the "different" speakers in that study were synthesized from recordings of the sustained vowels of one, adult male speaker. This paper presents a follow-up study in which a range of vowels were synthesized from recordings of four different speakers--an adult man, an adult woman, a young boy, and a young girl--to determine whether the sex and age of the original speaker would have an effect upon listeners' judgments of whether a vowel was spoken by a man, woman, boy, or girl, after they were equated for GPR and VTL. The sustained vowels of the four speakers were scaled to produce the same combinations of GPR and VTL, which covered the entire range normally encountered in every day life. The results show that listeners readily distinguish children from adults based on their sustained vowels but that they struggle to distinguish the sex of the speaker.
