摘要：

研究对成年口吃者在流畅朗读过程中的塞音进行了声学分析,测量了嗓音起始时间并且计算了塞音爆破时刻的频谱矩,并将口吃者在言语矫治前后与非口吃者进行了对比。多因素方差分析结果显示,口吃者嗓音起始时间虽稍长于非口吃者但未达到统计意义上的显著性差异水平,而且受发音部位和韵母的影响程度较大。同时还观察到矫治前口吃者和非口吃者在塞音爆破段的频谱均值呈现出显著性差异,口吃者频谱均值低于非口吃者可能是由于口吃者舌与齿龈或软硬腭形成阻塞的部位在声道中偏后所导致,还发现口吃者韵母对塞音爆破段频谱的影响较小,此结果表明口吃者表现出相对较弱的协同发音现象。口吃者经过言语矫治后塞音的嗓音起始时间和爆破段频谱有向非口吃者逼近的趋势。

Abstract: This study investigated whether adults who stutter and normal adult speakers differ in the production of stop consonants in fluent reading of Chinese Putonghua.Voice onset time(VOT) was measured and the spectral moments at the stop burst were calculated for the stutterers(both before and after the speech therapy) and for the nonstutterers.The statistical results showed that there were no significant differences in VOT between the nonstutterers and stutterers either prior to or after therapy,although the mean VOT of the stutterers was slightly greater than that of the nonstutterers.The results also indicated that both the place of articulation and the subsequent syllabic final exhibited an influence,to a greater extent,on VOT for the stutterers.In the spectral domain,the spectral mean of the stuttering participants before therapy was significantly different from that of the normal participants,whereas the group difference became insignificant after the therapy session.The smaller spectral mean for the stutterers might be interpreted as a more posterior occlusion in the oral cavity when producing alveolars and velars.In addition,productions of the stutterers scattered with a wider range in the space of spectral moments.Furthermore,the smaller main effect of syllabic finals on the mean spectral frequency of the burst suggested that the stutterers exhibited weaker anticipatory coarticulation than the nonstutterers.
