The results show that there are 3 level tones, 2 rising tones, and 1 falling tone in Qimen. The fact that speakers use different F0 contours in the realization of different types of level tones sheds light on the understanding of underlying mecha...

Diphthongized vowels in the yi county hui Chinese dialect

This paper is an acoustic phonetic description of the vowels and diphthongs in the Yi county dialect and compares the diphthongized vowels with monophthongs and diphthongs in terms of their temporal structures and spectral characteristics. Results show that rising diphthongs have two targets while falling diphthongs only have one dynamic target. Diphthongized vowels occur as an intermediate cat...

On the diphthongized vowels in Qimen Hui Chinese

This paper gives an acoustic phonetic description of the diphthongized vowels in the Qimen Hui dialect. The results suggest that the diphthongized vowels in Qimen have similar acoustic phonetic properties with those in Yi County Hui, namely they belong to an intermediate category between monophthong and diphthong. However, the diphthongized vowels in Qimen are typologically closer to plain diph...
