摘　　要：VOT值(Voice Onset Time)是反映塞音清浊、送气特征的一个重要物理指征。本研究以Lisker和Abramson的"三个范畴"塞音体系为理论依据,以实验语音学为研究手段,以RESCCL语音语料库为基础,通过比较中国高级英语学习者和语音学专家John Wells对同一朗读材料产出的英语塞音VOT值,结果发现:两者塞音VOT值存在显著差异,发生范畴类变化;中国高级英语学习者塞音习得普遍具有中介语特征;中国高级英语学习者在朗读语流中的塞音VOT值与重音位置显著不相关,受发音方式与语调干扰。The VOT value is an essential physical characteristic reflecting whether the plosive is voiced or voiceless, aspirated or unaspirated. Based on the theory of ＂three category＂ plosive system advanced by Lisker and Abramson, with experimental phonetics as the researching methods, RESCCL speech corpus as the foundation, the whole study compares the output English plosive VOT values on the same reading materials between Chinese advanced English learners and a phonetics expert---John Wells. The findings show that there exist significant category differences between senior Chinese learners and the phonetics expert; Chinese advanced English learners exhibit the same intermediary language characteristic in terms of plosive acquisition as most ordinary English learners; The VOT values and the stress placement of the plosives in the reading English materials by Chinese advanced English learners are significantly irrelevant, but severely influenced by the manner of articulation and intonation.
