The role of Chinese tones played in speech perception were investigated by speech articulationtests in this paper.The first part of these tests was carried out under four different transmission con-ditions.It is shown that the tone articulation is higher than 95% although the syllable articulation ischanged from 77% to 28%,and at the sametime the initial articulation changed from 87.2% to 46.7%and the final articulation changed from 89% to 39.5 %. In order to separate the tones from the spectrum of speech sounds,a 2400 bits/s digital channelvocoder was used in the second part of the articulation tests under four different conditions of ex-citation source:1.a noise source only,2.a triangular pulse train souce with constant fundamentalfrcquency F_0=127 Hz only,3.a triangular pulse train source with normal fundamental frequencyonly and 4.both noise source and pulse source with normal fundamental frequency.It is shown thati.the rank order of the tone articulation for the four testing conditions is 4,3,1,2;ii
The role of Chinese tone played in speech perception were investigated by speech articulationtests in this paper the first part of these tests was carried out under under four different transmission con- figurations. It is shown that the tone articulation is higher than 95% although the syllable articulation ischanged from 77% to 28%, and at the same time the initial articulation changed from 87.2% to 46.7% and the final articulation changed from 89% to 39.5%. In order to separate the tones from the spectrum of speech sounds, a 2400 bits / s digital channelvocoder was used in the second part of the articulation tests under four different conditions of ex-citation source: 1.a noise source only, 2.a triangular pulse train souce with constant fundamentalfrcquency F_0 = 127 Hz only, 3. a triangular pulse train source with normal fundamental frequencyonly and 4.both noise source and pulse source with normal fundamental frequency. It is shown thati. the rank order of the tone articulation for the four testing condi tions is 4,3,1,2; ii
