The free classification paradigm and its potential application to perceptual acoustic and auditory research are summarized. Specific methods for the application of the auditory free classification paradigm in speech research are then described, including techniques for stimulus preparation, data collection, and statistical analysis, based on a sample auditory free classification study of regional dialect variation. The results suggest that auditory free classification is a promising paradigm for examining the perceptual classification and similarity of speech and nonspeech auditory stimulus materials.
总结了自由分类范式及其在感知声学和听觉研究中的潜在应用。然后描述了听觉自由分类范式在语音研究中的具体应用方法，包括基于一项关于区域方言变异的听觉自由分类样本研究的刺激准备、数据收集和统计分析技术。结果表明，听觉自由分类是一种用于检验语音和非语音听觉刺激材料的感知分类和相似性的有前景的范式。
