人们普遍认为，在日语和英语中，重音位置最重要的线索是基频（F0）。此外，人们普遍认为，如果一个音节包含F0峰值，那么这个音节就会被认为是重音。然而，Sugito（1972）发现，在日语中，如果F0峰值之后是一个陡峭的F0下降，那么F0峰值之前的音节可能被认为是重音。在本文中，我们提出了两个实验，研究了日语和英语口音感知中F0峰值和F0下降率之间的关系。第一个实验证实，对于日语来说，F0峰值位置和F0下降率都会影响听者对重音位置的判断。具体来说，相对于音节边界，F0峰值出现在给定音节中的时间越晚，听者感知前一个音节为重音所需的F0下降率就越大。第二个实验表明，这种现象并非日语独有：英语中对重音位置的感知也受到F0峰值位置和峰后F0下降率的影响。
It is generally recognized that the most significant cue to accent location is fundamental frequency (F0) in both Japanese and English. Furthermore it is widely believed that a syllable is perceived as accented if the syllable contains an F0 peak. However, Sugito (1972) found that, in Japanese, if an F0 peak is followed by a steep F0 fall, the syllable preceding the F0 peak may be perceived as accented. In this article we present two experiments which investigate the relationship between F0 peak and F0 fall rate in accent perception for Japanese and English. The first experiment confirms that, for Japanese, both F0 peak location and F0 fall rate affect listeners' judgments of accent location. Specifically, the later the F0 peak occurs in a given syllable, relative to the syllable boundary, the greater the F0 fall rate necessary for listeners to perceive the preceding syllable as accented. The second experiment shows that this phenomenon is not unique to Japanese: Perception of accent location in English is also influenced by both F0 peak location and post-peak F0 fall rate.
