通城赣语元音的性别变异浅析

Study on gender variations of vowels in Tongcheng Gan dialect

文章使用实验语音学的研究方法,对35名通城赣语母语者的[Aεчi oɿu y]8个单元音进行了分析,分性别绘制了声学元音图,并基于归一化后的基频数据绘制了元音声学空间图,计算了男性和女性元音声学空间面积以及男女之间对应元音的欧氏距离。结果显示,通城赣语母语者中,元音既存在生理差异,也存在社会差异;男性的元音声学空间面积为3.873,女性的元音声学空间面积为4.107,女性的声学空间面积更大;男女之间变异性最大的元音是[A]和[o],变异性最小的元音是[y]。

This paper uses the research method of experimental phonetics to analyze the vowels[Aεчi oɿu y]of 35 native speakers of Gan dialect in Tongcheng,and draw s the acoustic vow el chart according to gender.Based on the normalized fundamental frequency data,the acoustic vow el space map is draw n,and the area of male and female vow el space,the Euclidean distance betw een male and female corresponding vow els are calculated.The results show that among native speakers of Gan dialect in Tongcheng,vow els have both physiological and social differences.M ale vow el space area is 3.873,that of female is 4.107,and female vow el space area is larger.The most variable vow els betw een the male and the female are[A]and[o],and the least variable vow el is[y].
