چکیده
Mean fundamental frequency and duration data are presented for the seven citation tones of Lanqi, a previously undescribed Wu dialect from Eastern China. The seven citation tones are on unstopped (“shu”) syllables and stopped (“entering or ru”) syllables from one male native speaker.

The Acoustics and Probabilistic Phonology of Short Stopped-syllable Tones in Hong Kong Cantonese
Mean fundamental frequency and duration data are presented for citation tones of Hong Kong Cantonese on short stopped syllables for five male and five female young native speakers. The relationship between the acoustics of the speakers’ stopped and unstopped tones is examined and it is shown that the low-stopped tone F0 is for most speakers acoustically more similar to the low falling unstopped...

متن کاملIn search of basal distortion product generators.
The 2f1-f2 distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) is thought to arise primarily from the complex interaction of components that come from two different cochlear locations. Such distortion has its origin in the nonlinear interaction on the basilar membrane of the excitation patterns resulting from the two stimulus tones, f1 and f2. Here we examine the spatial extent of initial generatio...
