چکیده
This paper examines tone features on the basis of an acoustic phonetic analysis of F0 and duration data from 10 speakers in Qimen Hui Chinese Dialect. The results show that there are 3 level tones, 2 rising tones, and 1 falling tone in Qimen. The fact that speakers use different F0 contours in the realization of different types of level tones sheds light on the understanding of underlying mechanisms of tonal production. Other relevant issues of tonal phonology, such as contour tones, binary usage of features, and tone register, were also discussed.

متن کاملChinese dialect identification using segmental and prosodic features.
Several approaches to Chinese dialect identification based on segmental and prosodic features of speech are described in this paper. When using segmental information only, the system performs phonotactic analysis after speech utterances have been tokenized into sequences of broad phonetic classes. The second scheme comprises prosodic models which are trained to capture tone sequence information...
