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...
متن کاملPhonetic vocoder assessment
The efficiency of phonetic vocoders stems from the fact that the only transmitted information is the index of the recognised units and the corresponding prosodic parameters. Hence, speaker recognisability is one of the main issues in this class of coders. Our approach to minimise this drawback was to include some speaker adaptation capability. The purpose of this paper is two-folded: on one han...
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...
