To investigate the common stereotype that homosexual males show pitch patterns that mirror those of heterosexual females.
Static group comparison.
Comparison of speaking fundamental frequency and pitch variation of 30 homosexual males, 56 heterosexual age-matched males, and 54 age-matched heterosexual females as demonstrated in a sample of read speech.
In the homosexual males, average fundamental frequency and pitch variation were significantly higher than in the heterosexual males but also significantly lower than in the heterosexual females.
Results do not confirm the stereotype that gay male speech mirrors the patterns of women's speech with respect to pitch characteristics. It would seem that the pitch patterns of gay male speakers constitute an example of sociophonetic variation.
探究同性恋男性的音高模式与异性恋女性相似这一常见刻板印象。
静态组比较。
比较 30 名同性恋男性、56 名年龄匹配的异性恋男性和 54 名年龄匹配的异性恋女性在朗读样本中表现出的基频和音高变化。
同性恋男性的平均基频和音高变化明显高于异性恋男性，但也明显低于异性恋女性。
结果不证实同性恋男性的语音模式与女性的语音模式在音高特征上相似的刻板印象。同性恋男性说话者的音高模式似乎构成了社会语音变化的一个例子。
