本文研究了泰语声调的语音特征与声调感知之间的关系。具体来说，它测试了一个假设（由 Morén & Zsiga，2006 年提出），即泰语五向音调对比的主要感知线索是与音律对齐的高音和低音目标。四项感知研究的结果（一项使用自然语音，三项使用数字化语音）的结果支持了这一假设。有人认为，通过将声调与音节相关联，可以实现从抽象自分割特征 H 和 L 到泰语声调的产生和感知的直接映射，这是迄今为止难以捉摸的目标。这一结果对轮廓音调感知、音调的独特特征以及音高目标与分段弦的对齐等理论产生了影响。
This paper investigates the relationship between the phonological features of tone and tone perception in Thai. Specifically, it tests the hypothesis (proposed by Morén & Zsiga, 2006) that the principle perceptual cues to the five-way tonal contrast in Thai are high and low pitch targets aligned to moras. Results of four perception studies, one using natural speech and three using digitally-altered speech, are presented in support of the hypothesis. It is argued that, by associating tones to moras, a straightforward mapping from the abstract autosegmental features H and L to the production and perception of Thai tones, a heretofore elusive goal, can be accomplished. This result has consequences for theories of contour tone perception, the distinctive features of tone, and the alignment of pitch targets to the segmental string.
