Abstract

Alcohol intoxication is known to affect pitch variability in non-tonal languages. In this study, intoxication's effects on pitch were examined in tonal and non-tonal language speakers, in both their native language (L1; German, Korean, Mandarin) and nonnative language (L2; English). Intoxication significantly increased pitch variability in the German group (in L1 and L2), but not in the Korean or Mandarin groups (in L1 or L2), although there were individual differences. These results support the view that pitch control is related to the functional load of pitch and is an aspect of speech production that can be advantageously transferred across languages, overriding the expected effects of alcohol.

摘要

酒精中毒已知会影响非声调语言的音高变化。在这项研究中，研究了在母语（L1；德语、韩语、普通话）和非母语（L2；英语）中，声调语言和非声调语言使用者的醉酒对音高的影响。结果表明，酒精中毒显著增加了德语组（L1 和 L2）的音高变化，但韩语组和汉语组（L1 或 L2）没有，尽管存在个体差异。这些结果支持了这样一种观点，即音高控制与音高的功能负荷有关，是言语产生的一个方面，可以跨越语言进行有利的转移，从而忽略了酒精的预期影响。
