A Formal Phonetic Basis for a Universal Phonological Feature Set

该项目由加州大学洛杉矶分校语音学实验室进行，通过全面说明世界语言中的语言语音事件及其发音-声学关系，为语音理论中使用的特征提供了正式的语音基础。它建立在实验室进行的先前研究的基础上，并填补了现有的空白。它将提供一个计算机模型，根据特征解释语言描述，并指定相应的发音和声学事件，从而明确适当的音系学理论必须包含的内容。

This project, carried out at the phonetics laboratory of the University of California, Los Angeles, provides a formal phonetic basis for the features used in phonological theory by making a full account of the complete range of the linguistic phonetic events in the world's languages and their articulatory-acoustic relations. It builds on previous research carried on at the laboratory and fills in existing gaps. It will provide a computer model that interprets linguistic descriptions in terms of features and specifies the corresponding articulatory and acoustic events, thereby making evident what an adequate phonological theory must encompass.
