Abstract This paper considers the relative influence on sociophonetic interpretation of /s/ using “static” and “dynamic” acoustic analysis, where dynamic refers to the use of measures which capture the time-varying nature of segmental acoustics, and static to measures which are taken at a single point, or from an average across the sound (Watson and Harrington 1999, Docherty et al. 2015). Static and dynamic Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) analyses of spectral Centre of Gravity (CoG) and spectral Slope measures/trajectories were carried out on gendered productions of /s/ and /ʃ/ for a real- and apparent-time 32 speaker sample of spontaneous Glasgow dialect. Results of static CoG measures, reflecting place of articulation, indicate a reduction of gender differentation over time, such that girls born most recently revert to older vernacular (lower frequency) norms. Adding static spectral Slope, reflecting articulatory constriction, shows a change in gendered differentiation, whereby boys born most recently show a gestural shift. The DCT analysis both confirms the static results and also reveals that dynamic characteristics of both sibilants carry key additional prosodic, linguistic and social information for this community. Our results reflect for the first time the usefulness of changing analytical perspectives on /s/, both in terms of acoustic representation (static and dynamic), but also by considering /s/ alongside its partner sibilant /ʃ/ within the context of shifts in the construction of social gender over time.

随着时间的推移,对/ s /和性别的看法不断变化

摘要本文使用“静态”和“动态”声学分析来考虑对/ s /的社会语音解释的相对影响,其中动态是指使用捕获段声的时变性质的量度,而静态是指在单个点或整个声音中取平均值(Watson和Harrington,1999年,Docherty等人,2015年)。静态和动态离散余弦变换(DCT)频谱重心(CoG)和频谱斜率测度/轨迹的分析是针对/ s /和/ʃ/的性别产生的,实时和视在时间的32个扬声器样本进行的自发的格拉斯哥方言。静态CoG量度的结果反映了清晰的发音,表明随着时间的流逝性别差异的减少,这样,最近出生的女孩就会恢复到较老的白话(频率较低)规范。添加静态频谱坡度以反映关节的收缩情况,表明性别差异发生了变化,最近出生的男孩出现了手势变化。DCT分析不仅证实了静态结果,而且还揭示了两种助听器的动态特征都为该社区带来了关键的附加韵律,语言和社会信息。我们的结果首次反映了在声学表示(静态和动态)方面改变/ s /的分析观点的有用性,而且还考虑了在/ s /的变化范围内与/ s /一起使用的伙伴伙伴/ʃ/。随着时间的推移建立社会性别。表现出性别差异的变化,最近出生的男孩表现出手势变化。DCT分析不仅证实了静态结果,而且还揭示了两种助听器的动态特征都为该社区带来了关键的附加韵律,语言和社会信息。我们的结果首次反映了在声学表示(静态和动态)方面改变/ s /的分析观点的有用性,而且还考虑了在/ s /的变化范围内与/ s /一起使用的伙伴伙伴/ʃ/。随着时间的推移建立社会性别。表现出性别差异的变化,最近出生的男孩表现出手势变化。DCT分析不仅证实了静态结果,而且还揭示了两种助听器的动态特征都为该社区带来了关键的附加韵律,语言和社会信息。我们的结果首次反映了在声学表示(静态和动态)方面改变/ s /的分析观点的有用性,而且还考虑了在/ s /的变化范围内与/ s /一起使用的伙伴伙伴/ʃ/。随着时间的推移建立社会性别。该社区的语言和社会信息。我们的结果首次反映了在声学表示(静态和动态)方面改变/ s /的分析观点的有用性,而且还考虑了在/ s /的变化范围内与/ s /一起使用的伙伴伙伴/ʃ/。随着时间的推移建立社会性别。该社区的语言和社会信息。我们的结果首次反映了在声学表示(静态和动态)方面改变/ s /的分析观点的有用性,而且还考虑了在/ s /的变化范围内与/ s /一起使用的伙伴伙伴/ʃ/。随着时间的推移建立社会性别。
