维吾尔语的塞音同英语有清浊之分,对维吾尔语中的浊塞音和清塞音进行声学研究,从“维吾尔语语音声学参数库”中选取466个包含浊塞音及981个清塞音的词,采集了它们时长,无声段(GAP)和嗓音起始时间(VOT)这3种最基本的声学特征参数,给予了详细地实验分析并通过对比研究验证了VOT和GAP是区分浊塞音和清塞音的重要参数,其目的是为了更好地为自然语言处理服务,对同属语族的语言有较高的参考价值。
Stop consonants of Uyghur Language, as those of English, have the divisions of voiceless consonant and voiced consonant. An acoustical research is made on the plosives and tenius consonant in Uyghur Language. The plosives and tenius consonants included with in single-syllable or multi-syllable words are chosed from "Uyghur language acoustical database", their acoustical parameters in duration, tOT and GAP collected, and their detailed experimental analyses also given. The comparative study indicates that tOT and GAP are important parameters for distinguishing plosives and tenius consonants from each other. These studies aim at a better service for Uyghur natural language processing in future, and also serves as valuable reference for the study of other languages in the same language family.
