Greek uses H*, L + H*, and H* + L, all followed by L-L% edge tones, as nuclear pitch accents in statements. A previous analysis demonstrated that these accents are distinguished by F0 scaling and contour shape. This study expands the earlier investigation by exploring additional cues, namely, voice quality, amplitude, and duration, in distinguishing the pitch accents, and investigating individual variability in the selection of both F0 and non-F0 cues. Bayesian multivariate analysis and hierarchical clustering demonstrate that the accents are distinguished not only by F0 but also by additional cues at the group level, with individual variability in cue selection.
希腊语在陈述句中使用 H*、L + H* 和 H* + L，并在其后都跟随 L-L%的边缘音，作为核重音。之前的分析表明，这些重音可以通过 F0 缩放和音高轮廓形状来区分。本研究通过探索更多的线索，即音质、幅度和时长，来区分重音，并研究 F0 和非 F0 线索选择中的个体差异，扩展了早期的研究。贝叶斯多元分析和层次聚类表明，重音不仅可以通过 F0 来区分，还可以通过群体水平上的其他线索来区分，并且在线索选择方面存在个体差异。
