摘要

本文从母语人士和非母语人士的角度对美国英语元音的谱特征和元音持续时间之间的复杂关系进行了研究。非母语人群是同质的，因为所有说塞尔维亚语的人都以塞尔维亚语为母语，但都是美国的长期居民。本研究调查的语音语境是/bVt/，其中V是美式英语单音节音之一/i / u / ε æ u / /。声学分析结果表明，NNS元音一般比NS元音长。此外，NNSs中和了/i / /和/u / /这两对紧张和松弛的元音的元音质量，并且在发音时更多地依赖于语音持续时间。

Duration as a Phonetic Cue in Native and Non‑Native American English

This vowel study looks at the intricate relationship between spectral characteristics and vowel duration in the context of American English vowels, both from a native speaker (NS) and non-native speaker (NNS) perspective. The non-native speaker cohort is homogeneous in the sense that all speakers have Serbian as their mother tongue, but have been long-time residents of the US. The phonetic context investigated in this study is /bVt/, where V is one of the American English monophthongs /i ɪ u ʊ ε æ ʌ ɔ ɑ/. The results of the acoustic analysis show that the NNS vowels are generally longer than the NS vowels. Furthermore, NNSs neutralise the vowel quality of two tense and lax pairs of vowels, /i ɪ/ and /u ʊ/, and rely more heavily on the phonetic duration when prononuncing them.
