Language Experience Influences Non-linguistic Pitch Perception
Following publication of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, evidence has accumulated for the influence of language experience on perception. There are thousands of languages in the world which make use of pitch patterns to construct words much as vowels and consonants are used, among which Mandarin (a.k.a. Putonghua) is a typical tone language. This study examines the effect of language experience (to...
متن کاملLexical tone and pitch perception in tone and non-tone language speakers
Past research on categorical perception of lexical tone has produced contradictory results. In Experiment 1 tonal (Mandarin, Vietnamese) and non-tonal (Australian) adults were tested for identification and discrimination on speech and non-speech (sine-wave) tone continua. Tonal language speakers’ category boundaries and discrimination peaks were near the middle of the asymmetric continuum, wher...
متن کاملThe Effects of Pitch Range and Duration on Tone Categorical Perception
Previous research has mainly focused on the influence of language experience (cross-language or cross-dialect), and stimulus complexity (speech vs. non-speech) on the categorical perception of tones. This study further investigates whether pitch range and duration affect tone categorical perception. Four speech tone continua differing in pitch range and duration were presented to native Mandari...
متن کاملEffects of stimulus duration and vowel quality in cross-linguistic categorical perception of pitch directions
We investigated categorical perception of rising and falling pitch contours by tonal and non-tonal listeners. Specifically, we determined minimum durations needed to perceive both contours and compared to those of production, how stimuli duration affects their perception, whether there is an intrinsic F0 effect, and how first language background, duration, directions of pitch and vowel quality ...
متن کاملTonal expectations influence pitch perception.
In this study, we investigated the influence of tonal relatedness on pitch perception in melodies. Tonal expectations for target tones were manipulated in melodic contexts while controlling sensory expectations, thus allowing us to assess specifically the influence oftonal expectations on pitch perception. Three experimentsprovided converging evidence that tonal relatedness modulates pitch perc...
