本研究探討噪音起始時間（VOT），對華語塞音與塞擦音之區辨程度。十五位台籍華語母語人士，與十五位韓籍與十五位越南籍以華語為第二語言學習者，參與本聲學研究。發音語料為華語塞音與塞擦音字表；聲學分析重點為：噪音起始時間（VOT）。主要結果指出數項組內顯著差異與組間顯著差異。從噪音起始時間（VOT）檢視，台籍華語母語人士能顯著區辨塞音與塞擦音送氣與否，但韓籍以華語為第二語言學習者，未因其母語具較複雜塞音結構而享優勢，呈現華語塞音送氣與否混淆程度甚劇。此外，統計分析組間表現結果指出，華語為第二語言學習者與華語母語者，於多組塞音與塞擦音嗓音起始時間（VOT）達顯著差異，不同母語背景之學習者與華語母語者離異程度互異。

The current study explores to what extent Voice Onset Time (VOT) contributes to the place and manner distinction in Mandarin stops and affricates. Fifteen native speakers of Mandarin in Taiwan, and fifteen speakers of Korean and fifteen speakers of Vietnamese who learned Chinese as a second language (CSL) participated in the present research. They articulated a wordlist of Mandarin stops and affricates. The production of each subject was examined from the acoustic perspective of VOT. The results indicated a number of within-group and between-group differences for the L1 and L2 speakers of Mandarin Chinese. The L1 speakers significantly distinguished the Mandarin stops and affricates with and without aspiration in their VOT values, whereas the CSL learners from Korea, though endowed with a more marked L1 stop system, confused Mandarin stops with and without aspiration to a greater degree. Additionally, several between-group differences in the VOT production demonstrated that learners of different L1 backgrounds deviated from the native targets to a certain extent, but in different ways.
