Development of tone perception and tone production in Cantonese-learning children aged 2 to 5 years
The development of lexical tone perception and production was investigated in sixty normally developing Cantonesespeaking children (aged 2 to 5 years). Overall, the accuracy of tone identification improved from 2 to 5 years of age. Children’s production of lexical tones was measured through phonetic transcriptions. A particular tone was judged to have been acquired when transcription accuracy w...

متن کاملTone perception ability of Cantonese-speaking children.
Studies have shown that while children acquire all Cantonese tones by age two, they are not able to label them reliably until approximately age 10. One possible explanation for the large age discrepancy may be the different methodologies used. This study aimed to (1) investigate a new research design for the collection of reliable tone perception data from young children; (2) compare lexical an...
متن کاملAuditory-Visual Integration of Talker Gender in Cantonese Tone Perception
This study investigated the auditory-visual integration of talker gender in the perception of tone variances. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate how listeners use the information of talker gender to adjust their expectation towards speakers’ pitch range and uncover intended tonal targets in Cantonese tone perception. Results from an audio-only tone identification task showed that tone c...
متن کاملEffects of Tone Merging and Musical Training on Cantonese Tone Perception
This study investigates whether musical training can facilitate lexical tone perception of native speakers of a tone language. Some Cantonese tone pairs, T2/T5 (rising), T3/T6 (level), T4/T6 (falling vs level) are merging in recent years. The merging subjects have poorer general tone perception than the control subjects. Previous studies showed that musical training facilitates lexical tone per...
