本研究考察了11名普通话使用者和4名英国英语使用者在普通话和英语中无语音意义的词首塞音的发声起始时间。本文的目的是比较汉语和英语的动词移位模式，并将它们的塞音实现沿着动词移位连续体进行分类。正如所料，研究结果显示，汉语和英语中的无喉送气塞音出现在沿着不同的位置上，并且差异达到了显著性。结果还表明，三个通用的VOT类别（即长领先，短滞后，长滞后）是不够精细，以区分这两种语言的无尾塞音。
This study examines voice onset time (VOT) for phonetically voiceless word-initial stops in Mandarin Chinese and in English, as spoken by 11 Mandarin speakers and 4 British English speakers. The purpose of this paper is to compare Mandarin and English VOT patterns and to categorize their stop realizations along the VOT continuum. As expected, the findings reveal that voiceless aspirated stops in Mandarin and in English occur at different places along the VOT continuum and the differences reach significance. The results also suggest that the three universal VOT categories (i.e. long lead, short lag, and long lag) are not fine enough to distinguish the voiceless stops of these two languages.
