本文考察了语音表征对词媒VC序列产生中时间关系的影响。调查中的参数是元音，关闭，并释放持续时间在选定的一组德语双音节词。这些词包括系统变化的词中元音长度/a/与/a：/，前面有对比塞音/p、B/、/t、d/和/k、g/。一个有趣的问题是，在区分中间位置的辅音组时，元音的持续时间和闭合音的持续时间在多大程度上相互作用。结果提供了证据，预期元音延长效果之前，VOICED停止，而不是一个几乎恒定的持续时间的“元音+关闭”序列的文献中声称。长元音和短元音在前面的浊塞音时都表现出延长的效果。此外，有声音栓的闭合持续时间比无声音栓的闭合持续时间短，但不是先前的音量长度的函数。如果塞音闭包以某种方式“补偿”了长元音的更长，那么当长元音在前时，它们应该显示更大的持续时间差异，而它们没有。在此基础上，本文提出了一个时间元音和阻塞音的产生模式。
This paper examines influences of phonological representations upon the temporal relations in the production of word-medial VC-sequences. The parameters under investigation are vowel, closure, and release duration in a selected set of German disyllabic words. The words include systematically varied word-medial VOWEL LENGTH /a/ versus /a:/ preceded by the contrasting stops /p, b/, /t, d/, and /k, g/. One point of interest is the extent to which the duration of the vowel and of the closure interact in distinguishing the sets of consonants in intermediate position. The results provide evidence for an anticipatory vowel-lengthening effect before VOICED stops instead of a nearly constant duration of the “vowel + closure” sequence as claimed in the literature. Both LONG and SHORT vowels show a lengthening effect when preceding VOICED stops. Further, closure durations of VOICED stops are shorter than those of VOICELESS stops, but are not a function of preceding VOWEL LENGTH. If the stop closures somehow “compensate” for the greater lengthening of the LONG vowels, they should show a larger duration difference when preceded by LONG vowels, which they do not. Following the results of the production study, a tentative model for the temporal vowel and obstruent production is proposed.
