Eight severely‐to‐profoundly hearing‐impaired children produced each of 14 phrase‐length utterances.F0 measures were obtained at several locations within each utterance (startingF0, finalF0, andF0 peaks). The relative timing of eachF0 measure (ms from onset of the utterance) was also determined. In addition, several difference measures were derived. Listeners experienced with the speech of the deaf served as subjects for the perceptual experiment and were asked to judge whether they heard a terminal fall or a flat final intonation contour. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine if any combination of the acoustic measures could predict listeners' responses. Results suggest that the only variable which made a significant contribution to the regression function was the temporal interval between the terminal peakF0 and the finalF0. The regression equation accounted for a statistically significant but not a large proportion of the total variance. The implications of these results will be discussed.
