Japanese vowel devoicing is claimed to be less frequent in the Kinki dialect than in the Tokyo dialect (standard Japanese). In the present paper, frequency of vowel devoicing of /i/ in the non-sense /CiCe/ words is compared among Kinki- and Tokyo dialect speakers. The results indicated that, within pitch accent and speech rate groupings, some of the Kinki dialect speakers showed devoicing rates similar to that of the Tokyo dialect speakers. It was also confirmed that the devoicing rate for some Kinki dialect speakers was significantly less than that for Tokyo speakers. For Tokyo and Kinki speakers who had a high rate of devoicing, variation in rate of devoicing due to consonantal environment was 1) highly frequent (almost without exception) when a stop or an affricate was at least on one side, 2) less frequent (seemingly random) when fricatives were on both sides, and 3) infrequent (seemingly random) when there was a following /h/. A similar tendency was found for the Kinki speakers with a smaller rate of devoicing. The present results suggest that devoicing phenomena may be complex, occurring not only at higher (phonological) levels but also at the lower (phonetic) level.

In this paper, I show that pitch patterns influence native speakers of Korean in their perception of voiced and voiceless sounds in Japanese. It is shown that speakers of Korean, a language which does not have the contrast between voiced and voiceless sounds, rely on the difference of the pitch patterns rather than the voicing sounds. More specifically: 1. It was confirmed that, roughly speaking, higher pitch occurs in association with voiceless sounds, while lower pitch occurs in association with voiced sounds. 2. It was confirmed that Korean speakers have little problem perceiving voiceless sounds when they are accompanied by a clear high pitch, and voiced sounds when they are accompanied by a clear low pitch. In other cases, the rate of perception errors was high. 3. In a follow-up experiment, the pitch pattern of voiced sounds was substituted with that of their voiceless counterparts and that of voiceless sounds with that of their voiced counterparts. The results showed that Korean speakers are apt to perceive voiceless sounds as voiced when the accompanying pitch is low, while they tend to perceive voiced sounds as voiceless when the accompanying pitch is high. Japanese speakers showed the same tendency, but with a lower rate of errors in perception.

By means of pellet tracking technique using an x-ray microbeam system, observations of articulatory movements were made on clinical cases of cerebellar degeneration. In some selected cases, electromyographic study was also performed. The data were specifically examined with reference to the range, velocity and consistency (reproducibility) of the movements of the articulators as well as to the pattern of coordination of the different articulators involved. It was found in the case of ataxic dysarthria of cerebellar origin, that the dynamic patterns were best repesented by difficulty in initiation of purposive movements and inconsistency of artieulatory movements, particularly in repetitive production of monosyllable. On electromyography, breakdown of the rhythmical patterns in the articulatory muscles was quite obvious in the repetition of monosyllables. It was suggested that analysis of dynamic aspects of the dysarthrias shoulc he a promising approach for elucidating the nature of central problems of speech productior and for differential diagnosis of various types of dysarthrias.

研究目的: 歌唱に際して声区, ピッチ, 声の強さなどがどの様にして調節されているかを, 一流の声楽家について明らかにし, 発声法の訓練, 指導に資するとともに, 音声調節のメカニズムの解明にも寄与することを目的とした.研究方法: 本邦第一級のテノールとして活躍中の一声楽家を対象として, 種々の発声中の喉頭筋々電図記録, 呼気流率測定, 声帯振動の高速度映画撮影を行っ.研究成績および結論: 1. 声区は声帯筋によつて第一義的に調節される. 声帯筋はheavy registerでは強く収縮するが, light registerではほとんど収縮しない. 従つて, heavy registerでは声帯が厚く, 粘膜波動は著明で, 開放時間率が小さく, 開閉速度率は大きい. 呼気流率は一般にlight registerで大きい.2. ピッチの調節機構は声区によつて異なり, 前筋, 側筋, 声帯筋の関与はheavy registerで顕著である. 呼気流率の関与は何れの声区においても認められなかった.3. heavy registerでは声帯筋と呼気流率が声の強さの調節に関与する. light registerでは声帯筋は関与せず, 呼気流率と声の強さの関係が極めて緊密である.4. 声の調節機構はstaticなものではなく, 前後の発声情況によつて変化するdynamicなものである.

Infants prefer native language to foreign language soon after their birth. This experiment aimed to determine whether infants can detect the phonological differences between a native dialect and an unfamiliar dialect, even though both dialects belong to the same language. The subjects are 43 infants, 5 to 8-months-old. All infants came from families speaking Eastern Japanese dialect only, and had had little exposure to Western Japanese dialect. Preferential listening time toward the Eastern and Western dialect was measured by me Head Turn Preference Procedure. The result demonstrated that 8-month-old infants showed greater preference to the native Eastern dialect than the unfamiliar Western dialect, whereas 5,6,7-month-old infants didn't show any significant difference in their listening time. This fact suggests that 8-month-old infants can detect the difference of these dialects, and pay more attention to a native dialect than to an unfamiliar one.
