متن کاملTone Spans of Cantonese English
This paper examines the newly developed tones in Cantonese English, with a particular interest in the tones spanning across syllables.

Audio-recording data elicited from six speakers of Cantonese English was processed with Praat, and then fitted to a smoothing spline analysis of va...
