| Abstract | Eight deaf children produced 9 sentences, and fundamental frequency (FF) measures were obtained within each utterance. The relative timing of each FF measure was also determined, and several difference measures were derived. Listeners experienced with the speech of deaf persons judged whether they heard a terminal fall, rise, or a flat final intonation contour in each utterance. Results suggest that the measures of FF change studied cannot in themselves account for the listeners' perceptual decisions. Other variables not considered may play an important role in the perception of utterance-final intonation contours in the speech of deaf persons. |
