Neutralization in Taiwanese Tone Sandhi
Taiwanese tone sandhi, although a phrase-level pattern, has been argued to be essentially lexicalized. We thus expected it to be phonetically categorical and insensitive to pragmatic context. To test these predictions, we had native speakers read aloud pairs of sentences identical except for morphemes expected to be neutralized by tone sandhi, both across and within prosodic positions. Speakers...
متن کاملProductivity in Taiwanese Tone Sandhi Redux
This paper aims to re-examine the issues of psychological reality of the Taiwanese Tone Circle with a novel experimental setting. Previous results from various wug tests all suggested that the tone sandhi rules should be unproductive, due to the obtained poor correct response rates (in general below 20%~30%; [3, 4, 6, 8]). But it is important to note that these results are confounded with the f...
متن کاملthe study on potentials of tone modules combinations and their acoustical consonance in iranian music
one of the fields of creation and practice expansion is an attempt to diversify and multiply melodic modules which can increase practical potentials in a musical system. the most fundamental element of a sonic- musical atmosphere (mode) is ambits of tone; in other words, it is a sequence of tones with specific frequency. therefore, melodic modules combination depends on acoustical features and ...
متن کاملTaiwanese Tone Sandhi Viewed from an Intensity Perspective
Tone sandhi is a phenomenon that occurs in tone languages such as Taiwanese, Mandarin and Cantonese. It is a set of rules that defines how words placed at specific positions in sentences carry particular linguistic tones or fundamental frequency contours. Most investigations into Taiwanese are of an impressionistic nature and the few acoustic studies are limited to the study of fundamental freq...
متن کاملA Cross-linguistic Study of Taiwanese Tone Perception by Taiwanese and English Listeners
The present study investigated tone perception by speakers of Taiwanese Southern Min and those of American English with an AX discrimination task. Two Taiwanese Southern Min tone continua were constructed from natural speech stimuli. One continuum ranged from a high level tone (T55) to a mid level tone (T33), and the other from a high level (T55) to a high falling tone (T51). The results showed...
