| Abstract(in English) | The formant hypothesis of vowel perception, where the lowest two or three formant frequencies are essential cues for vowel quality perception, is widely accepted. However, the signal-detection task provides some evidence that basic psychoacoustic phenomena such as a listener's accent and the effects of mother tongue may play important roles in vowel perception. Three psychophysical experiments were performed to study this question. In the first and second experiments, it can be found that individual differences of how to be heard by listeners when the same vowels emphasized each formant frequency were reproduced by a headphone. The third experiment, it is experimentally discussed whether the emphasizing filters for the formant frequencies of the listeners of any other man's vowels is effective. The results suggest that the each formant emphasized by a band pass filter of a listener's own self for any other man's vowels is maintained highly the scores derived from the articulation tests for vowel perception. |
