Phonetic transcription of tone in the IPA
When conducting fieldwork on tone languages, the linguist choosing to use the IPA to make phonetic transcriptions of tone is presented with a challenge: Current methods of tone transcription in the IPA require a degree of phonological analysis before they can be applied and when applied they do not adequately display pitch distinctions relative to other pitches. I describe this challenge and th...
متن کاملMandarin Tone 2 Coarticulation: Phonetic or phonological?
Tone processes in Chinese languages can be identified as phonological or phonetic. In the literature, this distinction is often made by referring to them as either tone sandhi (phonological) or tonal coarticulation (phonetic). However, while it is unchallenged that certain processes (e.g. Standard Mandarin Tone 3 Sandhi) belong to the phonological camp, some other tone processes that are consid...

Kenstowicz, Michael and Chiyoun Park. 2006. Laryngeal Features and Tone in Kyungsang Korean: a Phonetic Study. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology. Xx.x, xxx-xxx. F0 is one of the major phonetic correlates to the intensively studied laxtense-aspirated contrast in Korean obstruents. Numerous investigations of the standard Seoul dialect have shown that the vowels following tense or asp...
متن کاملTesting the role of phonetic knowledge in Mandarin tone sandhi
Phonological patterns often have phonetic bases. But whether phonetic substance should be encoded in synchronic phonological grammar is controversial. We aim to test the synchronic relevance of phonetics by investigating native Mandarin speakers’ applications of two exceptionless tone sandhi processes to novel words: the contour reduction 213E21/_T (Tl213), which has a clear phonetic motivation...
متن کاملAn acoustic-phonetic description of word tone in kagoshima Japanese
The Japanese dialect of Kagoshima (KJ) has two different surface pitch patterns, (L)HL and (L)H. In this study, the properties of these two surface pitch patterns of KJ will be acoustically-phonetically described by means of z-score normalisation. Words consisting of two, three, four and five syllables were used in this study (the syllable structure is a CV) as test words, and the F0 of each sy...
