This study assessed the impact of a conscious imitation goal on phonetic convergence during conversational interaction. Twelve pairs of unacquainted talkers participated in a conversational task designed to elicit between-talker repetitions of the same lexical items. To assess the degree to which the talkers exhibited phonetic convergence during the conversational task, these repetitions were used to elicit perceptual similarity judgments provided by separate sets of listeners. In addition, perceptual measures of phonetic convergence were compared with measures of articulation rates and vowel formants. The sex of the pair of talkers and a talker's role influenced the degree of phonetic convergence, and perceptual judgments of phonetic convergence were not consistently related to individual acoustic-phonetic attributes. Therefore, even with a conscious imitative goal, situational factors were shown to retain a strong influence on phonetic form in conversational interaction.
本研究评估了有意识的模仿目标在对话互动中对语音趋同的影响。十二对互不相识的谈话者参与了一项对话任务，该任务旨在引发谈话者之间对相同词汇项目的重复。为了评估谈话者在对话任务中表现出语音趋同的程度，这些重复被用于引出由不同组听众提供的感知相似性判断。此外，将语音趋同的感知测量结果与发音速率和元音共振峰的测量结果进行了比较。谈话者对的性别和谈话者的角色影响了语音趋同的程度，并且语音趋同的感知判断与个体声学语音属性并非始终相关。因此，即使有一个有意识的模仿目标，情境因素在对话互动中对语音形式仍有很大影响。
