Recent acoustic descriptions have shown that Spanish and Portuguese vowels are produced differently in Europe and Latin America. The present study investigates whether comparable between-variety differences exist in vowel perception. Spanish, Peruvian, Portuguese, and Brazilian listeners were tested in a vowel identification task with stimuli sampled from the whole vowel space. The mean perceived first (F1) and second formant (F2) of every vowel category were compared across varieties. For both languages, perception exhibited the same between-variety differences as production for F1 but not F2, which suggests correspondence between produced F1 and perceived vowel height but not between F2 and frontness.
最近的声学描述表明，西班牙语和葡萄牙语的元音在欧洲和拉丁美洲的发音方式不同。本研究旨在探究在元音感知方面是否存在类似的品种间差异。在元音识别任务中，使用来自整个元音空间的刺激，对西班牙、秘鲁、葡萄牙和巴西的听众进行了测试。比较了各种元音类别感知到的第一（F1）和第二共振峰（F2）的平均值。对于这两种语言，感知到的品种间差异与 F1 的产生相同，但与 F2 不同，这表明产生的 F1 与感知到的元音高度相对应，但 F2 与前沿性不对应。
