在四种普通话词汇声调中，声调2和声调3对于母语人士和非母语人士来说都被发现在感知上最容易混淆。本研究考察整体声调时长是否起到知觉线索的作用，以及母语和二语听者在区分这两种声调时是否以相同的方式衡量这一线索。为此，本研究采用时长归一化刺激和非归一化刺激对L1和L2普通话受试者进行了两个知觉实验。结果表明，母语听者对声调2、3声调的区分并不严重依赖时长，而二语听者对时长给予更多的知觉权重。总体声调时长是二语声调训练和习得的重要参数。
Among the four Mandarin lexical tones, Tone 2 and Tone 3 have been found to be the most confusable perceptually for both native speakers and non-native speakers. This study investigates whether the overall tone duration serves as a perceptual cue and whether L1 and L2 listeners weigh the cue in the same manner in distinguishing the two tones. In doing so, two perceptual experiments using duration-normalized stimuli and non-normalized stimuli respectively were conducted on L1 and L2 Mandarin listeners. The results show that native listeners do not heavily rely on duration for the Tone 2Tone 3 distinction, whereas L2 listeners give more perceptual weight to duration. The overall tone duration is concluded to be an important parameter for L2 tone training and acquisition.
