环甲肌(CT)在提高F0中的作用是众所周知的，但降低F0的带状肌(如胸骨舌骨(SH))的活动还没有得到深入的研究，特别是在语音中。本研究以现代汉语普通话中声调2(中声)和声调4(高调)的产生为研究对象，考察了声调的主动参与。然而，为了复制早期的发现并提供汉语声调产生的更全面的图像，研究人员还对其他声调以及CT和声带肌肉的作用进行了研究。来自两名男性说话者的肌电记录数据显示，在第二声调开始时，SH一直被用来将F0重置到中低值。根据与泰语说话者早期结果的比较，我们认为这是在大多数情况下产生上升的F0轮廓的强制性动作。SH肌肉也参与了音调4的F0下降，但不那么持续。我们认为，后一种做法可能不是强制性的，特别是在说话人声音高亢的情况下。
The role of the cricothyroid muscle (CT) in raising F0 is well understood, but the activity of F0-lowering strap muscles such as the sternohyoid (SH) has been less thoroughly investigated, especially in speech. This study focused on the activve participation of the SH in the production of tones 2 (mid-rising) and 4 (high-falling) in Modern Standard Chinese. The other tones, however, together with the role of the CT and vocalis muscles, were also investigated in order to replicate earlier findings and to provide a more comprehensive picture of the production of Chinese tones. EMG data recorded from two male speakers show that the SH is consistently utilized to reset F0 to a mid-low value at the onset of tone 2. Based on a comparison with earlier results for Thai speakers, we argue that this is a mandatory manoeuvre for producing rising F0 contours in most contexts. The SH muscle also participates in the F0 fall of tone 4, but less consistently. We argue that the latter manoeuvre may not be obligatory, especially in the case of speakers with a high-pitched voice.
