Studies of several languages over the last fifty years have repeatedly found a number of acoustic and temporal differences between male and female voices that cannot be exclusively explained using anatomical factors such as vocal tract or vocal fold length. Non-uniform differences between male and female acoustic vowel spaces as well as systematic differences in male and female segment durations are two such areas.In the first grant period (2 years) acoustic and articulatory analyses together with listening experiments investigated sex-specific relationships between segment quality and duration. In the continuation period the investigation will be expanded. First, a comparative analysis of the German data which has already been collected with articulatory and acoustic data from American English (University of Wisconsin X-ray microbeam database) will be carried out. Second, beside vowel patterns (diphthong and vowel sequences) sex-specific differences between sibilants from both languages will also be examined. Furthermore, in addition to possible sex-related factors interindividual physiological differences will also be considered.

在过去的50年里，对几种语言的研究一再发现，男性和女性的声音之间存在着许多声学和时间上的差异，这些差异不能完全用声道或声带长度等解剖学因素来解释。男性和女性的声学元音空间之间的非均匀差异以及男性和女性段持续时间的系统差异是两个这样的areas.In第一批期间（2年）的声学和发音分析与听力实验调查段质量和持续时间之间的性别特异性关系。在继续调查期间，将扩大调查范围。首先，德国的数据已经收集了发音和声学数据从美国英语（威斯康星州大学X射线微束数据库）的比较分析将进行。第二，除了元音模式（双元音和元音序列），性别特异性的差异，从两种语言的擦音也将被检查。 此外，除了可能的性别相关因素，个体间的生理差异也将被考虑。
