词汇声调和音素的心理语言学状态是通过使用泰语语音的语音和声调意识（PA和TA，分别）索引。在实验1（泰国的参与者，字母脚本和正字法明确的电话/音调），PA是优于TA的儿童和小学教育的成年人，TA改善PA水平，只有在高等教育的成年人。在实验2（广东话的参与者，语标脚本，没有正字法明确的电话/音调），儿童和小学教育的成年人有更好的PA比TA，PA和TA相当于大专教育的成年人，但仍然低于泰国同行的水平。实验3（英语语言的参与者，字母脚本和nontonal）表现出更好的PA比TA。回归分析表明，TA和PA预测阅读能力的泰国儿童，但一般nonorthographic年龄相关变量的广东儿童，而英语儿童阅读能力预测PA，但TA。结果表明，语音>声调知觉优势的年龄和语言，是受影响的可用性的正字法相关信息和元语言的成熟度。更一般地说，语音和音调的感知和心理语言学表征都是不同的。(C)2010年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
The psycholinguistic status of lexical tones and phones is indexed via phonological and tonological awareness (PA and TA, respectively) using Thai speech. In Experiment 1 (Thai participants, alphabetic script and orthographically explicit phones/tones), PA was better than TA in children and primary school-educated adults, and TA improved to PA levels only in tertiary-educated adults. In Experiment 2 (Cantonese participants, logographic script and no orthographically explicit phones/tones), children and primary-educated adults had better PA than TA, and PA and TA were equivalent in tertiary-educated adults, but were nevertheless still below the level of their Thai counterparts. Experiment 3 (English-language participants, alphabetic script and nontonal) showed better PA than TA. Regression analyses showed that both TA and PA are predicted by reading ability for Thai children but by general nonorthographic age-related variables for Cantonese children, whereas for English children reading ability predicts PA but not TA. The results show a phone > tone perceptual advantage over both age and languages that is affected by availability of orthographically relevant information and metalinguistic maturity. More generally, both the perception and the psycholinguistic representation of phones and tones differ. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
