Blumstein, Cooper, Goodglass, Statlender, and Gottleib (Brain and Language, 9, 153-170 (1980] attempt to determine by an examination of the VOTs of aphasic speakers whether Broca's aphasics make phonemic substitutions in addition to their well-known phonetic errors. There are a number of problems with this study, mostly due to an apparent failure to fully appreciate the fact that VOT is a cover term for several acoustic features. It is suggested that VOT measurement in any given position in a word cannot solve this problem and that future studies should include glottographic observations as well as VOT measurements made in all positions in the word.
布卢姆斯坦、库珀、古德格拉斯、斯塔特伦德和戈特利布(《大脑与语言》,第9卷,第153 - 170页,1980年)试图通过检查失语症患者的语音起始时间(VOT)来确定布罗卡失语症患者除了其众所周知的语音错误外是否还会进行音素替换。这项研究存在诸多问题,主要是因为明显未能充分认识到VOT是几个声学特征的统称。有人认为,在单词的任何给定位置进行VOT测量都无法解决这个问题,未来的研究应包括声门图观察以及在单词所有位置进行的VOT测量。
