目的本研究探讨了使用良好性评分和可懂度评分来记录发音训练后元音产生变化的有效性。良好的和可理解性的听众的看法之间的关系也examined.MethodFifteen英语语言学习者扬声器（5日本，5韩国，和5西班牙语）参加了16次会议的元音为重点的发音训练。25名英语单语者作为听力者，在/hVt/语境中对10个英语元音进行了训练前后的判断。听众判断元音的可理解性使用10-替代被迫选择的任务和评价善良使用5点李克特scale.ResultsGoodness评级和可理解性分数捕获的几个元音训练后的准确性的改善。然而，一些元音，收到更好的平均清晰度分数收到较差的平均善良评级训练后。善良评级和可理解性分数之间的关系显示，元音，如//和//更依赖于善良的可理解性比元音，如/i/和/e/，这是高度可理解的，即使当他们收到穷人goodness rates.ConclusionEnglish元音不同的善良的重要性，准确识别的听众。因此，临床医生在测量发音训练后的变化时，应检查良好性和可懂度。
PurposeThis study examined the effectiveness of using goodness ratings and intelligibility scores to document changes in vowel production following pronunciation training. The relationship between listener perceptions of goodness and intelligibility was also examined.MethodFifteen English language learner speakers (5 Japanese, 5 Korean, and 5 Spanish) participated in 16 sessions of vowel-focused pronunciation training. Pre- and posttraining judgments of 10 English vowels in /hVt/ context were conducted by 25 monolingual English speakers who served as listeners. Listeners judged vowel intelligibility using a 10-alternative forced-choice task and rated goodness using a 5-point Likert scale.ResultsGoodness ratings and intelligibility scores captured improvement in the accuracy of several vowels following training. However, some vowels that received better mean intelligibility scores received poorer mean goodness ratings following training. The relationship between goodness ratings and intelligibility scores revealed that vowels such as /æ/ and /ʌ/ were more dependent on goodness for intelligibility than vowels such as /i/ and /e/, which were highly intelligible even when they received poor goodness ratings.ConclusionEnglish vowels differ with respect to the importance of goodness for accurate identification by listeners. As such, clinicians should examine both goodness and intelligibility when measuring change following pronunciation training.
