在目前的研究中感兴趣的是语音插入时间（VOT）如何受到西班牙语和英语的语速变化的影响。三组受试者（英语单语者，西班牙语单语者和早期的西班牙语-英语双语者）产生的句子中含有不同的说话速度的浊音和无元音的双唇停止。与以往的研究一样，英语单语者的VOT产出也表现出了速率依赖性效应：VOT随说话速率的降低而增加。西班牙语单语者表现出很大的影响语速的持续时间prevoicing的浊停止。然而，他们只表现出一个小的影响，他们的无休止的停止，双语者产生的VOT值在每种语言几乎相同的单语同行。从这项研究的结果表明，短滞后停止经历最小的变化作为一个功能的语速，无论其他对比语音类别在一个特定的语言。此外，早期双语者对英语和西班牙语的浊塞音和清塞音表现出不同的表征，版权（R）2000 S。Karger AG，巴塞尔。
Of interest in the current study was how voice inset time (VOT) was influenced by changes in speaking rate across Spanish and English. Three groups of subjects (English monolinguals, Spanish monolinguals and early Spanish-English bilinguals) produced sentences containing voiced and voiceless bilabial stops at different speaking rates. As in previous research, English monolinguals showed rate-dependent effects on their VOT productions: VOT increased as speaking rate decreased. Spanish monolinguals showed a large effect of speaking rate on the duration of prevoicing of the voiced stops. However, they showed only a small effect of rate on the VOT of their voiceless stops, The bilinguals produced VOT values in each language that were nearly identical to their monolingual counterparts. The results from this study indicate that short-lag stops experience minimal variation as a function of speaking rate regardless of the other contrasting phonetic categories within a particular language. In addition, early bilinguals showed evidence of separate representations for voiced and voiceless stops for English and Spanish, Copyright (R) 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel.
