Acoustic realization of Mandarin neutral tone and tone sandhi in infant-directed speech and Lombard speech.
Mandarin lexical tones are modified in both infant-directed speech (IDS) and Lombard speech, resulting in tone hyperarticulation. However, it is unclear if these registers also alter contextual tones (neutral tone and tone sandhi) and if such phonetic modification might affect acquisition of these tones. This study therefore examined how neutral tone and tone sandhi are realized in IDS, and how...
متن کاملAcoustic analysis of lexical tone in Mandarin infant-directed speech.
Using Mandarin Chinese, a "tone language" in which the pitch contours of syllables differentiate words, the authors examined the acoustic modifications of infant-directed speech (IDS) at the syllable level to test 2 hypotheses: (a) the overall increase in pitch and intonation contour that occurs in IDS at the phrase level would not distort lexical pitch at the syllable level and (b) IDS provide...
متن کاملSpeech Communication: 2aSC7 Gestural timing in Mandarin tone sandhi
Recently tones have been analyzed as articulatory gestures, which can be coordinated with segmental gestures (Gao, 2008). Using Electromagnetic Articulometry (EMA), this paper investigates the timing patterns in Tone3 variants under the framework of Articulatory Phonology (AP). Mandarin third tone sandhi (Tone3 → T3S / Tone3) is purportedly neutralizing in that the sandhi output (T3S) is acoust...
متن کاملTone hyperarticulation in Cantonese infant-directed speech
There is extensive evidence for vowel hyperarticulation in infant-directed speech (IDS) [1, 2, 3], but little is known about lexical tones in tonal IDS. Here, longitudinal recordings of Cantonese IDS revealed that tones, like vowels, are hyperarticulated. Implications of this finding for infant linguistic development are discussed.
متن کاملNeutral Tone Realization in Tianjin Mandarin
This study examines the acoustic realization of neutral tone in Tianjin Mandarin, which shows great variability in the f0 patterns. Previous studies, mainly with impressionistic data, have proposed that the neutral tone in Tianjin Mandarin has different underlying tonal targets depending on the tonal contexts, in particular the following tone. This presents a great challenge to the crossdialect...
