识别说话者的听者会注意到说话者的语音的特征属性，尽管每个话语都很新奇。说话者感知的账户经常假设，一个人的语音，称为索引属性的一致方面，是归因于说话者的独特解剖或一致的声音姿势，不同于语音对比的声学相关。因此，说话者的感知被认为独立于语言信息的感知而发生。另外，一些研究表明，对说话者属性的注意包括辅音和元音发音中传达的索引语言属性。本研究旨在寻求直接证据，注意语音属性的言语在感知说话。自然样本和正弦波副本来自他们被用于三个实验中评估的感知性质的自然和正弦波的句子;时间上真实的和颠倒的自然和正弦波的句子;和声学相关的声道规模的判断正弦波说话人的相似性。结果表明，个人说话的主观相似性是保留在没有自然的声音质量，以及当地的语音段属性，以及语音的全球特性，可以利用当听众注意到说话人的特点。(c)2007年，美国声学学会。
A listener who recognizes a talker notices characteristic attributes of the talker's speech despite the novelty of each utterance. Accounts of talker perception have often presumed that consistent aspects of an individual's speech, termed indexical properties, are ascribable to a talker's unique anatomy or consistent vocal posture distinct from acoustic correlates of phonetic contrasts. Accordingly, the perception of a talker is acknowledged to occur independently of the perception of a linguistic message. Alternatively, some studies suggest that attention to attributes of a talker includes indexical linguistic attributes conveyed in the articulation of consonants and vowels. This investigation sought direct evidence of attention to phonetic attributes of speech in perceiving talkers. Natural samples and sinewave replicas derived from them were used in three experiments assessing the perceptual properties of natural and sine-wave sentences; of temporally veridical and reversed natural and sine-wave sentences; and of an acoustic correlate of vocal tract scale to judgments of sine-wave talker similarity. The results revealed that the subjective similarity of individual talkers is preserved in the absence of natural vocal quality; and that local phonetic segmental attributes as well as global characteristics of speech can be exploited when listeners notice characteristics of talkers.
