在测量120个发音人元音声学数据的基础上,文章采用方差分析、二相直方图、回归分析和偏分布的统计方法考察了香港粤语一级元音的性别、年龄组特征,得出的结论可以为粤语研究和香港的语言教学提供参考。 On the basis of the acoustic measurement of vowels produced by 120 subjects, the paper adopted statistic methods of Analysis of Variance, two-dimensional histogram, regression analysis and skewness and examined the properties of vowels that age and gender groups play in Hong Kong(香港) Cantonese. The findings of this paper can contribute to Cantonese studies and language teaching at Hong Kong(香港).
