ABSTRACT
Objective This study is to analyze the fundamental frequencies of different speech materials . Methods 60 normal subjects (22 males ,38 females) were studied .When pronouncing /a/,/i/,/u/and the short paragraphs ,the fundamental frequencies were measured using Praat software .Results The analysis of the funda‐mental frequencies for different materials indicates that /i/and /u/were the highest while /a/was the next and the paragraphs were the lowest .For males ,the fundamental frequencies from high to low were148 .47 Hz ,146 .77 Hz ,136 .33 Hz ,and 132 .85 Hz ;for females ,they were257 .39 Hz ,250 .52 Hz ,239 .43 Hz and 222 .16 Hz .The experimental results showed that there was no significant difference between the fundamental frequencies of vowels between the two genders but there were significant differences when pronouncing different vowels among the female subjects .Conclusion When measuring fundamental frequencies ,reading short paragraphs can be more accurate and the vowel /a/is more useful in this purpose .
