Perceptual equivalence of approximated Cantonese tone contours
This paper describes a perceptual study on approximated Cantonese tone contours. We believe that the perception of tone contours relies mainly on the major trend of pitch movement, and is not sensitive to the exact F0 values at particular time instants. The tone contours of individual syllables and the transition between them are approximated as a small number of linear movements. The effect of...
متن کاملTonetic Sound Change in Taiwan Mandarin: The Case of Tone 2 and Tone 3 Citation Contours
Recent acoustic studies of Taiwan Mandarin citation tones reveal disagreement about whether Tone 2 is dipping or rising and whether Tone 3 is falling or dipping. The present study surveys 33 informants who were subdivided by age, gender and language background. We can generalize that older groups and females are collectively more conservative than their respective counterparts, and likewise tha...
متن کاملPerception of Pitch Contours among Native Tone Listeners
Level, rising and falling pitch contours were presented to ten native speakers of Thai and fifteen native speakers of Mandarin Chinese for pair-wised discrimination in a same-different categorial discrimination task. Their performance was comparable across all contrasts. Both groups were more successful at discriminating the rising from the falling and the level contours, but failed to discrimi...
متن کاملtone & posture in children
tone is functionally as resistance to passive movement. it is separated into postural tone and phasic tone. phasic tone is the result of rapid stretching of a tendon and the muscle spindle, however postural tone is the result of a steady, restrained strech on muscles. hypottonia is a decreased resistance to passive movement. the term floppy is frequently used to describe hypotonic children. in ...
متن کاملContour Tone Licensing and Contour Tone Representation
In this paper, I argue that the positional restrictions of contour tones do not result from their bimoraicity requirement for licensing. The arguments come from the licensing advantage of syllables in positions that are not moraically privileged, the extra levels of markedness distinction in contour tones that go beyond the maximum mora count allowed in the theory, the differences among contour...
