自发的语音模仿是一个过程，通过这个过程，一个说话的人会因为接触而变得更像一个说话的模特。目前的实验研究了这一现象，检查元音谱是否在词汇阴影中被自动模仿：问，以及社会喜欢如何影响模仿。参与者被分配到一个说黑人话的组或一个说白人话的组；在这个谈话者操作中，参与者要么被置于有他们指定的谈话者模型的数字图像的条件下，要么被置于没有图像的条件下。喜欢程度是通过吸引力评级来衡量的。参与者选择性地适应元音；较低的元音/ae /a /比/i / o / u/表现出最强的模仿效果，但这种趋势的程度因条件而异。除了这些语音选择性的发现之外，这些元音的模仿程度也受到吸引力评级的微妙影响，这也与实验条件相互作用。研究结果表明，语言片段在感知编码和生产变化方面具有不稳定性。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Spontaneous phonetic imitation is the process by which a talker comes to be more similar-sounding to a model talker as the result of exposure. The current experiment investigates this phenomenon, examining whether vowel spectra are automatically imitated in a lexical shadowing :ask and how social liking affects imitation. Participants were assigned to either a Black talker or White talker; within this talker manipulation, participants were either put into a condition with a digital image of their assigned model talker or one without an image. Liking was measured through attractiveness rating. Participants accommodated toward vowels selectively; the low vowels /ae a/ showed the strongest effects of imitation compared to the vowels /i o u/, but the degree of this trend varied across conditions. In addition to these findings of phonetic selectivity, the degree to which these vowels were imitated was subtly affected by attractiveness ratings and this also interacted with the experimental condition. The results demonstrate the labile nature of linguistic segments with respect to both their perceptual encoding and their variation in production. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
