Résumé

Jusqu'à ce jour, de nombreux efforts ont été déployés afin d'attribuer de façon systématique les propriétés subjectives de la parole à des caractéristiques objectives et physiques. Le but de cette étude était de scruter plus en détails comment les propriétés objectives contribuent à la forme d'intélligibilité versus les fonctions du niveau de présentation pour les mots isolés. L'interaction de ces caractéristiques telles que le niveau de la parole, la familiarité et l'uniformité spectrale s'est avérée complexe et révélatrice. L'uniformité spectrale a été mesurée en utilisant la variance de l'égalité spectrale a et la longueur des mots. Ces deux mesures représentent un ajout innovateur aux mesures classiques. Même si les résultats présentés ne permettent pas d'expliquer toutes les variations de l'intélligibilité de la parole, ils fournissent quelques indices sur le rôle des facteurs pour le cas relativement simple des mots mono-syllabiques.
