The majority of studies on phonation types have focused on low vowels due to the minimal effects of their first formant on harmonic amplitude. In studies of multiple vowel qualities, reports on the relationship between vowel and voice quality are mixed: some show similar formant frequencies across phonation types (e.g. Abramson, Nye & Luangthongkum 2007, Khan 2012), while others show different formant frequencies depending on voice quality (e.g. Ren 1992, Kuang 2011). Results differ as to whether the degree of non-modal phonation varies (Andruski & Ratliff 2000, Kuang 2011) or does not vary (Esposito 2012, Khan 2012) across different vowel qualities. The present study draws on innovations which allow for more accurate corrections for the effects of formant frequencies on spectral measures (i.e. Hanson 1995, Iseli, Shue & Alwan 2007) to examine the relationship between vowel quality and voice quality, in eight languages – !Xóõ, Burmese, Gujarati, Jalapa de Díaz Mazatec, Mon, Santa Ana del Valle Zapotec, White Hmong, and Yi. While no significant difference in the degree of non-modal phonation due to vowel quality was found, results showed a crosslinguistic pattern in the relationship between vowel quality and voice quality: vowels with higher log(F1) and log(F2) values tended to be produced with creakier phonation, while vowels with lower log(F1) and log(F2) values tended to be produced with breathier phonation, but only on the measure H1*-H2*.

检查元音质量和语音质量之间的关系

大多数关于发声类型的研究都集中在低元音上，因为它们的第一共振峰对谐波幅度的影响最小。在对多个元音质量的研究中，关于元音和语音质量之间关系的报告是混合的：一些显示不同发声类型的共振峰频率相似（例如 Abramson, Nye & Luangthongkum 2007, Khan 2012），而另一些显示不同的共振峰频率取决于语音质量（例如任 1992，匡 2011）。不同元音质量的非模态发声程度是否不同（Andruski & Ratliff 2000, Kuang 2011）或不变（Esposito 2012, Khan 2012）的结果不同。本研究利用创新技术，可以更准确地校正共振峰频率对频谱测量的影响（即 Hanson 1995, Iseli, Shue & Alwan 2007）用八种语言检查元音质量和语音质量之间的关系——!Xóõ、缅甸语、古吉拉特语、Jalapa de Díaz Mazatec、Mon、Santa Ana del Valle Zapotec、White Hmong 和 Yi。虽然没有发现由于元音质量导致的非模态发声程度有显着差异，但结果表明元音质量和语音质量之间的关系存在跨语言模式：元音较高日志(F1) 和日志(F2) 音值倾向于以更脆的发声产生，而元音的发声较低日志(F1) 和日志(F2) 值往往是由呼吸声发声产生的，但仅在 H1*-H2* 测量上产生。
