Abstract

Various aspects of our communication are well known to have changed over time (1-3). This article describes a cross-sectional study that examined the acoustic characteristics of two groups of Australian women aged 18-25 years from recordings made in 1945 and 1993 and investigated the possible changes in the voice across generations. Archival recordings from 1945 which had been used in a longitudinal study (4) were compared to recordings made in 1993. The results of this study show that women in 1993 have significantly deeper voices than women of the same age recorded in 1945. The possible factors influencing this change are discussed.

摘要

众所周知，我们交流的各个方面都随时间发生了变化（参考文献1 - 3）。本文描述了一项横断面研究，该研究通过1945年和1993年录制的音频，考察了两组年龄在18 - 25岁之间的澳大利亚女性的声学特征，并探究了不同代际间嗓音可能发生的变化。将1945年一项纵向研究（参考文献4）中使用过的档案录音与1993年录制的音频进行了比较。该研究结果表明，1993年的女性嗓音明显比1945年记录的同龄女性更低沉。文中还讨论了影响这一变化的可能因素。
