A set of intonation contours has been synthesized using "yes" as the carrier word. Discrimination and identification functions have been obtained for these intonation contours. It was found that the stimuli could be classified as "statement," "question," "emphatic statement," and, possibly, "hesitation" and "weak statement." Predicted discrimination functions were calculated from the identification functions, and these were found to be positively correlated with the obtained discrimination functions. This provides evidence for category boundary effects in the perception of intonation.
使用“yes”作为载体词合成了一组语调轮廓。已经获得了这些语调轮廓的辨别和识别功能。结果发现，这些刺激可以被分类为“陈述”、“疑问”、“强调陈述”，以及可能的“犹豫”和“微弱陈述”。从识别功能计算出预测的辨别功能，发现这些功能与获得的辨别功能呈正相关。这为语调感知中的类别边界效应提供了证据。
