Wave duration and wave peak amplitude were measured for 10 Mandarin speakers and five English speakers. Results revealed significant differences between the two groups on the acoustic variables. Discriminant function analysis resulted in 12 (80%) of 15 subjects being classified correctly in their respective groups based on wave duration and wave peak amplitude measures.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Wave duration and wave peak amplitude were measured for 10 Mandarin speakers and five English speakers. Results revealed significant differences between the two groups on the acoustic variables. Discriminant function analysis resulted in 12 (80%) of 15 subjects being classified correctly in their respective groups based on wave duration and wave peak amplitude measures.
520 $a A second experiment with the 10 Mandarin subjects serving as speakers among 231 native English listeners who ranked the intelligibility of each speaker. A regression analysis revealed high correlation (r = 0.897) between acoustic and perceptual measures, which explained 89.1% of the variance in wave duration and 68.5% of the variance in wave peak amplitude data. These findings suggest that intelligibility of Mandarin speakers of English is a function of acoustic parameters of prosody. Intelligibility increases as wave duration and wave peak amplitude decrease.
